Re: Another 9.5 question

quote Mumbles:

Agreed. Nine times out of ten buffing with a wire wheel will remove the rust making the parts serviceable again. The OMC/BRP HI-Viscosity oil used leaves a film which helps to protect the parts from serious rusting. Polishing all of the bearing surfaces will help everything spin freely again.

If the gears are toast, ones from ’61 – ’63 OMC ten horse motors will also fit. They share the same part numbers.

I personally feel the main shaft on this one, with the rear floating gear; will be toast, and pitted badly. Yes, I agree on what you say about today’s OMC gear oil, and including Mercury’s product all have the additive in them. In fact I went with Mercury years back when I found out about their product before OMC came out with it, and have used it only now.
