Re: SKOOLZ or anyone => OMC info
 

i built mine out of an old Comalong, i chopped it up and welded it up to a plate for my OMC stuff. still trying to find ya some still good sites all my old ones are gone thus far ugh.

Re: SKOOLZ or anyone => OMC info
 

The 50 & 70hp OMC's used to have lifting rings and some 4 cly.
We have made ours universal for Merc, Mariner and Omc by welding a 1/4" T shaped plate with a 1" hole for the lift eye and 3/8" holes drilled for the flywheel puller threads.

Thanks you guys . . . I think I'll be in good shape just building one like that . . . I've got to get a flywheel puller now. I've got a Merc Flywheel puller, but I don't think they're the same as the OMC.

I used this for my old FICHT as a lifting eye.

I do things the hard way!! I wrap a Yellow webed tow strap around making my own harness and use the come along to lift, has worked everytime!!
But the harness is never the same twice!! :P

I was just reading about the 90's 200 and 225. Looks like the only difference was the carbs . . . Anyone running one of these on there V20?

Re: SKOOLZ or anyone => OMC info
 

OMC didn't have all of the major porting differences like MERCURY does. They normally used different carbs, different tuners, and sometimes different reeds. The XP and GT's are a whole nother story though.

BS,

I'm running a 96 200 Ocean Runner on my dually.

Re: SKOOLZ or anyone => OMC info
 

Grace - Do you have any performance numbers . . . GPS top speed or fuel burn? What prop are you running?

Re: SKOOLZ or anyone => OMC info
 

BS, I'm ashamed to say that I don't have any performance numbers. I don't have a speedometer, nor do I have a GPS, sorry... :-/

I do know my boat screams ;D It's fast... 8)

Re: SKOOLZ or anyone => OMC info
 

Don't be ashamed . . . 10 years ago we'd all be w/o a GPS . . . and be lucky to have a speedo or fuel management. Someone might of had a loran. I think I bought my first GPS in the summer of 1998. What prop and how many rpms are you turning . . . I can figure out speed from those numbers :)
