    How to measure "hours"

    I have seen inboard ski boats like master crafts with over 4000 hrs on them and still running strong. I have an Infinity inboard with 2500 hrs on it and it runs as good as the day it was built.

    You have to pull the out drive. I did it this winter in the boat I bought to make sure I didn’t have any trouble with it. Get a manual and it is not that hard.

    Alpha 1 drive shaft

    It is a 1988 alpha one MR, I have done it before on a outboard, I think they set it up with a backlash setting from what I have seen on line. I have a friend that is going to lend me the tools if he can find them, if not I can make what I need. He can’t find his manual. Thanks George

    Alpha 1 drive shaft
