Looking to repower a 1975 anamari 25’. Current motor is a 351 winsor and omc outdrive. i want to remove both, prob replace transom, and replace with something newer. If anyone has any ideas or has done this kind of swap let me know.I feel confident I should be able to do this all myself if i take my time. Any advice would be appreciated! I would also be ready to purchaes if someone has one lying around.
your transom is definatley going to need to be rebuilt. OMC adverstised their drives as “stringer mounted”, meaning the weight of the engien was supported by the stringers, not the transom. You have a large rubber boot that the drive passes thru. The transom will have to be completely rebuilt to handle a repower. I’d talk to Bobby Glekin(G-craft) about rebuilding the transom, he’s done a lot of them.He’s a sponsor on this site, his number is up on the right somewhere
