DESCRIPTION:
Older outboards Professor Joseph L. McCauley The author is an OMC buff and gives good advice about getting a ca. late 1950s- early 1970s OMC running if it's already in reasonably good condition. I also collect mainly OMC outboards but for a different reason than the author. I was a Mercury mechanic as teenager but raced OMC motors in the 1970s and 1980s, there's much less difference between Mercury and OMC for that era and beyond. That.
