Just how was he powering his record player, how does a record player play when it's bobbing around in the ocean, and what was he high on? And why didn't they just throw his ass back in the water?

It's basically a gramophone using a crank to power the turntable. Why the record didn't skip, no idea, although the part of the tonearm that is attached to the needle probably had some weight to it.

It's called plot convention. We just accept it has happened based on the context in which it is presented in the film.

bobbing up and down didn't affect its playing.

What I found puzzling was the fact that the flesh eaters only ate his guts. WTF?
Was there something wrong with the rest of Omar? Jarring scene for me when I was a boy. I had never seen anything gory before.

I think they were only able to eat his midsection because he was beleeding out. As they ate his stomach they were flushed out of his body by the gushing blood.

That makes sense. Thanks. I never thought of that.

Omar was a total hoot and a half!
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
