What to check before you buy a used Omc Boat Group

  1. Run the hull identification number (HIN) through the USCG recall database to confirm whether your specific boat was included in the 1994 fuel prime bulb campaign.
  2. Request documentation from the seller showing the recall remedy was completed, or verify the fuel prime bulb was replaced with a compliant part.
  3. Have a marine surveyor inspect the fuel system, including the prime bulb, hoses, and connections, before purchase.
  4. If the boat was affected and no remedy documentation exists, budget for a fuel system inspection and potential component replacement.
