Default OMC Seadrive

Can someone explain this to me?
Or point me to a good thread?

Can the engine be swapped out for any outboard?

Thx, bill

what horse power do you have? I changed out a 20 proline once, the way the liner was made, I removed a filler panel, cut the transom down and made it an outboard. On a V20, it would probably be better to replace with a bracket and outboard. There are several conversion on this site, use the search feature and they should pop up

I guess the million $ question is; would you buy one?
Sounds like parts are scarce...

I wouldn't buy one unless I had a plan ready for repower, especially the bigger ones with the integrated hydraulic steering, theres nothing available for the steering. Very little available for the trim system as well.

Obsolete, only parts available are what you can scrounge up in the used market. If it runs plan on replacing it when it quits. Hulls with a seadrive have a full transom which is desirable to some for a bracket conversion. Friend of mine who goes by "Temoc" on here has one for parts if you're ever in Savannah.
