[QUOTE="blunt, post: 186609, member: 652"] in model year 1985 omc went to prop rating their motors... so the 35 hp was re badged as a 30 hp. so in reality a 1983 35 hp was the equivalent to a post 1985 30 hp. also since we know its been converted from a long to short shaft i would check model number on the freeze plug on the block to see if it matches whats on the leg as thats more telling of what you actually have. personally i think your motor looks great and i would rather have the newer cowling. but to each their own and here is what you would be looking for [url]https://www.greatlakesboatco.com/site_page_347/images/l_003.jpg[/url] . you could also go with the decal set from nana's decals on ebay but they get swamped with orders from time to time and take down there store while processing orders.
