Houseboating on Glacial Shuswap Lake

On By Delbert Adams

A vacation of a different sort, houseboating on Shuswap Lake, a trip for everyone. Even the geography buff in the crowd!

When I lay my head back on the edge of the hot tub, I could see the stars without straining my neck. And wow, were there stars! I felt so close to those celestial bodies, I felt as though I could see every detail one can with the naked eye. Nothing could tear me away. Nothing was going to. I was floating on a lake, sitting in a hot tub, in comfortable silence shared only with my animal neighbours. I couldn’t see them but I knew were there.

OMC Sea Drive power packs are available, as are OMC carburetor kits, propellers, and shop manuals, among others.

The power pack on an outboard engine is a key component of the electrical system of an engine. It is a computer-controlled box that distributes power to each of the spark plugs in turn, firing them to ignite the fuel in a cylinder and initiate the power stroke. OMC Sea Drive power packs are located in the power head of an outboard, adjacent to the cylinders.

 

Testing for Damaged OMC Sea Drive Power Packs

Occasionally, an ignition system part may become damaged by corrosion, age, or some other factor. If your engine doesn’t seem to be receiving any spark from the spark plugs, the power pack could be at fault. The wiring and connections may also be dirty or damaged, or it is possible that the stator, ignition switch, or amplifier coil may be damaged somehow.…
