Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this fits my engine?

This kit is specifically designed for OMC Stringer outdrives made between 1962 and 1986. It is critical to note that it is not compatible with any OMC Cobra models. Please verify your outdrive model and year before purchasing. You can also compare your existing part numbers with our cross-reference list to ensure a match.

What are the signs that my water pump is failing?

Common signs of a worn or failed water pump include the engine running hotter than normal or overheating, a weak or non-existent stream of water from the "tell-tale" outlet, and visible cracking or damage to the impeller vanes upon inspection.

Some sources say this fits up to 1985, others say 1986. Which is correct?

There can be inconsistencies in application data, especially for older models. While our compatibility table covers up to 1986 for certain drives, the most reliable method for confirmation is to match your old part number to one of the numbers in our cross-reference list.

An Exceptionally Well Designed Toy So No Wonder Dogs Adore It!
Color: Blue
Over the years, I’ve come to realize that not only do different dogs have distinct preferences for different types of toys with specific features, but they also respond much better to toys like this one that are well-made, durable with strong seams that don’t open easily, and that offer multiple characteristics. Although this dinosaur looks rather fierce, it’s a very good toy for very good dogs who like this type of toy! It not only has the crinkles that some dogs love, but it also has a long squeaker inside so the dog can make squeak it in many locations on the toy, and has held up extremely well to daily, energetic play. A frequent visitor to our house, a lovely Border Collie mix of adorableness, loves this toy so much when she visits that I bought another one to send to her house so she never had to be without her cherished dinosaur. :) Watching a happy animal is the best! :) On top of all that, it’s an incredibly good value! I’ve started reading more closely about toys that I consider for our pets because it makes a difference in how they use them and how much they like them. Since the whole goal is to keep our animal friends busy and happy, that makes all the difference to me. :) I hope your dog loves it, too! :)

Evisceration was nearly instantaneous but he’s hanging on!
Color: Blue
Despite my Sunshine eviscerating this prehistoric fellow and extracting the squeaker from his innards within minutes (followed by about an hour of her laying about, lazily squeaking, it has otherwise held up fairly well! Plastic squeaker aside, it doesn’t have any other plastic parts in it and the stitching has held up (my Sunshine went for the squeaker as if it were an alien about to burst forth from the dino’s belly and acted accordingly so the fabric didn’t quite hold up as well). It’s a decent size and only had a bit of fluff in its belly for me to clean up afterward. My Sunshine is an energetic chewer so I consider it a win that this thing is still even dino-shaped and only bereft of its squeaker. My Sunshine is quite happy with this little fellow and if she’s happy, I’m happy!

Became my dog's new favorite
Color: Blue
This instantly became my dog's go-to toy, and thankfully it's lasted longer than I anticipated. He was excited to play with it immediately, of course, but he also continued to go to it over all the other toys he has. He loves to rip and tear, so I didn't think this would last more than a day, but incredibly it's been going for weeks. Granted, he's torn out the squeaker and some of the crinkly plastic, as well as most of the stuffing, but there's still a recognizable dinosaur-shaped toy hanging around that he still likes to play with. The squeaker is also different than most dog toys, it's larger and lower-pitched, so that variation is fun. There's lots of crinkly plastic in the tail and feet, so even after my dog ripped open the tail and gotten that plastic out, there's still more noise-making stuff left in there. The size and amount of stuffing is also great, as it's given him many days of things to tear apart.

My Dogs Love It!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Do your dogs love a specific type of toy? Since my girls were puppies, they have preferred a specific material for toys. It is a soft, bubbly texture, usually in bright colors. It is soft for them and durable enough to survive even the toughest of playmates. All the toys made from this material also have a certain crinkle paper that drives both of my girls wild, and sometimes even include a squeaker. When I saw that this adorable dinosaur fit their favorite toy's qualities, I knew I had to get it for them! First, I want to talk about the quality. This dinosaur is adorable and designed for some tough play sessions. It is more reinforced than the name-brand toys I buy, which impressed me. While my girls rarely destroy toys, I find comfort in knowing that they will likely get bored with a toy before destroying it. What shocked me more was the squeaker. This company didn't go cheap; they went for a higher quality, large squeaker that is very loud and durable. My dogs have been playing with this for nearly two hours straight, and the squeaker has been going strong. If you don't like loud squeakers, though, be warned, it is very loud and isn't stop working anytime soon! Overall, this toy has been a big hit and way cheaper than what I can buy at local pet stores. With the quality and how much my girls love it, it has been a bargain and well worth it! This is a toy that we will be purchasing more of soon.

Rawr!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
My dogs love this toy; they have been playing with it for a few days, and surprisingly, it has been durable enough to withstand most of the torture. it has a fun squeaker and thankfully not too much filler, which I am thankful to have to follow behind to pick up. This is a good value toy. My dogs can usually tear a toy up in seconds but for some reason, they have chosen to keep this dinosaur alive!
