Re: Best years for OMC 10 horse?

I remember a member (fleetwin?) saying the drive shafts for the 1958+ models were hard to find!

The shaft on my early 1960 QD is missing a chip on at the slot for the pinion drive key, one reason I don’t run it often, or hard.

I think a late 1960 change was a splined pinion, and heavier teeth on the gears…..
