      I recall seeing a service bulletin (circa 1960’s I believe) where there was some nice illustrations and explanations for CD wear due to improper operator shift practices. I can’t seem to locate this SB.

      Does anyone happen to have a copy they’d be willing to share by uploading the images here? I think it was only 2 pages, but it might have been 3 or 4. I’d like to distribute this with motors I sell to customers as it’s a nice illustration of proper care…god knows I am fixing almost every motor I get my hands on for this issue.

      Thanks

        This may be what you are looking for.

          That’s the one! I am still hopeful to get my website launched (at this point, probably not until the fall) with text searchable parts catalogs, service bulletins, etc. This will make it so you can search for these things based on key terms/numbers and find what you’re looking for based off of the original numbers regardless of being superceded.

          Right now you can’t do that. If you look up a OEM number, you may find the part, but not know what that part goes to or which motors it can be used on. I run into this issue daily looking for part numbers and what goes where as they say to identify things.

            While there is some good information here this is not a Service Bulletin. As far as his comment at the end about not wanting to tear into a gearcase and just changing the gear lube frequently? I can see that on old iron where parts are unobtainable, but OMC Classics, no excuse. Not even that expensive or hard. Not familiar with this writer and appreciate his time explaining, taking pictures, etc of the process in gearcase rebuilding, but just don’t understand that last comment. With that attitude you are going to have big expensive problems soon! Just my opinion.

              I didn’t bother to read the ‘article’ the person put up, just wanted the original service bulletin on this particular issue for educational purposes to customers. Those are embedded so I just downloaded and saved those.

              They aren’t complicated gearcases at all (2-piece), and for that matter, the 1-piece ones aren’t complicated either. The only thing I will gripe about with the 1-piece ones is getting yokes lined up and/or removing driveshaft seals or harder-to-reach seals. Just goes slower.
