My sister has a 1991 sunbird corsair 175 w/ omc outdrive. It has not been in the water in more than 8 years. I am going to help her get it back in the water. It looks like I will have to replace the rubber bellows. Anyone have any experience or advice besides the obvious (take it to a dealer) I am hoping to find a repair manual before I start. The boat has been garaged so other the being pretty dirty the boat is in great shape. I am a little concerned with all the rubber/hoses as I assume they are close to dry rot.
1997 Sunbird Spirit 170 Specifications by Ana Purna Sunbird Boat Company opened in 1981 in South Carolina, and was sold to Outboard Marine in the early 1990s. Outboard Marine continued to produce the popular Sunbird boats throughout that decade. The 1997 Sunbird Spirit 170 was a popular powerboat for fishing and skiing. It was a trailerable.
I will replace all I can get. Thanks for any advice.
