The Backbone of a Generation on the Water

People who grew up around OMC Cobra and Stringer drives know exactly why they still have a loyal following. They’re mechanical in a way modern systems rarely are.

A lot of those boats are still sitting in garages and on trailers, not because they’re worn out, but because the right part is hard to find. 


That’s where RelicParts comes in. 


We source used OMC boat parts from mainly freshwater systems and restore them carefully, one piece at a time. Every component is cleaned, inspected, and approved before it hits our shelves. You get parts that match the original feel and reliability of your setup.

Why OMC Cobra & Stringer Owners Choose RelicParts

Four Decades of Experience

We’ve worked with OMC Cobra and Stringer setups long enough to understand how these drives behave, where they wear, and which components are necessary to keep them on the water.

Authentic, System-Matched Components

Our shelves are filled with genuine components pulled from real-world applications. As trusted parts suppliers for OMC boat motors, we avoid off-brand shortcuts and questionable aftermarket substitutions.

Checked With Purpose

Every part is cleaned and inspected with intent. We look at wear points, surfaces, and overall condition to make sure it is worth installing on a boat.

Freshwater-First Sourcing

We try to source from freshwater applications as much as we can to give you cleaner metal, better internal condition, and a stronger base for long-term use.

A Friendly, Helpful Team

Unsure about fitment? That’s completely normal with these older drives. Share a serial number, model detail, or photo. Our friendly team of experts will guide you in the right direction.

Easy and Stress-Free Returns

Not every part will work the first time around. If it doesn’t match your setup, you can send it back within 30 days.

How We Prepare Our Parts for Resale

Built-Up Grime Comes Off First

Old grease, scale, oxidation, and buildup are removed so the part can be evaluated as bare metal.

Surface Restoration

We use a low-impact, water-based process to brighten the surface and remove residue, without shaving the material or altering its original form.

Vital Contact Areas Examined

We examine high-stress zones, gear teeth, threads, sealing edges, and mating points. Only solid, trustworthy OMC boat engine parts move forward.

Freshwater Prioritized

Parts from freshwater systems have a better chance at long-term survival. We focus on sourcing Cobra and Stringer components from boats with minimal salt exposure.

Prepped, Identified, and Packaged On-Site

Finally, the part is tagged, protected, and boxed right here at our Colorado location.

Giving Old Drives a Second Wave

Plenty of boaters know these older drives still have a lot of life left in them. At RelicParts.com, we track down tough-to-find OMC Cobra and Stringer components, clean them up, inspect them, and make them ready for your next project.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which OMC Stringer part is failing?
Grinding noises, unusual vibration, or metal flakes in your drive fluid usually point to internal wear. Bearings, gears, or couplers are common trouble spots when dealing with older OMC boat engine parts.
If you’re comfortable with tools and have a service manual, you can. The key is proper alignment, fresh seals, and torque specs. We recommend photographing your setup before disassembly and labeling components as you go.
Overheating usually comes from a clogged water passage, failing impeller, or worn pump housing. Pull the lower unit and inspect the water pump first. If these parts are worn or brittle, replacing them can solve the issue.
No. Even though they look similar, the designs are different. Using the wrong part can damage the system. Always confirm which type of OMC boat parts your setup uses before ordering.
Start with common wear items like water pumps, gaskets, seals, bellows, and shift cables. These used OMC boat parts wear down over time, even if the boat wasn’t heavily used.
