Re: Question For The OMC Experts

Two things, first, I don’t really care about the shift handle being hot, I just mentioned it because it pertains to the midsection being too hot.
The second thing is, I thought drilling the hole was just for the purpose of cooling the exhaust and thus the mid, with the benefit of the shift linkage getting cooled too. Oh yeah, I pumped the grease fitting on the shift handle full of grease, that should help some.
I’m going to test the hole I drill before I put the P/H back on. It would be nice if the water sprayed out, but it will probably be more of a stream.
