i have i have a 1988 donzi zb22 with an OMC lower unit. it seems to lock up the engine when i put to much trim to it. is that the lower unit locking up and do i need a new one? i also cant find anywhere to get a new unit. i need some help so any advice would be great.
thanks,dave

What exactly do you mean by "lock up the engine?"

I'd expect the u-joint was more likely than other parts of the drivetrain to have an issue with excessive trim.

I don't know the OMC parts market at all, but I tried one quick Google search for "OMC outdrive parts" and turned up a bunch of things, such as:

Good luck with it,

ill be idleing and all of a sudden the motor will just lock up and wont crank as if the motor is seized. but if i work the trim it will start to crank.
