An excellent outcome for you. And three cheers for OMC
as well for
accepting responsibility for a design error made more than
*44* years ago.

that about a year ago my main outboard motor suffered a severe over
heating problem, somewhat illustrated in the photos above.
OMC made an
insane number of variants for each model in the year mine was made, and
probably kept on doing so.
However, each water-cooling impeller size
probably fits several engine sizes in perpetuity. The original
manufacture for the hub core was always metal.
What possessed them to
move to a non-metal material in this critical spot I can't imagine,
unless they thought it would yield a minuscule increase in profit.
The
extremely checkered fortunes of the company can be read here ...
