[omc-boats] omc

Are the 69 Reveler and Sportsman 155 engine and lower unit compatable for
parts? Are they both the Buick v6? Automotive oil filter? shame on me, I have
not changed it since someone else did it for me, before it was winterized last
year. I have a list of stuff to prepare to open it up next spring. Mainly oil
filter, fuel filter and gasket for fuel filter. The rear facing original seats
are ripped, used for a step for too many years. Any suggestions on repair for a
rip down the center of the bottom cushion, do not want to replace then, dont
think I'd find any in better condition in my neck of the woods. Not much work
getting done on it under all that snow, I seem to wait until June to get the
parts that are harder to find. My local marina gets annoyed with me and my old
parts, they are always swamped with all the newer boats. Paige
