    Want to watch a great video?

    I honestly have to say that I wanted to love this video, but instead I am furious and sick about it. For a trip(s) that could have been used for scientific purposes (don't know what exactly, but I'm sure someone could have come up with something useful), instead a group of people who must have...

    Outdrive RPM

    Howdy All, Quick question. If an 5.7 Mecruiser (GM) engine is at 3000 RPM what RPM is the outdrive (alpha 1/1) turning at with a 1:47 ratio? It's been a long time since I posted here. With Irene in 2011 & Sandy in 2012 it's been a long tough time getting things back to normal (semi)! I...

    5.0L Merc / alpha 1 engine coupling grease (zerk) fitting

    Howdy, I have a weird noise from my port engine. Kind of like a "rattling" metalic sound. Sounds like something is loose & rattling. Checked everything, all is tight. Looked for the grease fitting on the engine coupler and there is none? Any help would be appreciated.

    Who pulls their own Alpha drives?

    I remove mine every year, store in the garage (heated) & change the impellers. Well worth the $100.00 each season. You can buy stands or make your own!

    Engine Alignment Check

    Old Vet If your alignment is off the outdrive would not reinstall back on. The alignment is only needed if the gimbel bearing was replaced or fiddled with while the drive was off.

    Sea Water leaking from front of the boat into Bilge

    Howdy, Get it out of the water ASAP If you are sure it's flowing bow to stern that would rule out the bellows and most other connections to the rear. Do you have a seacock @ your head. Any other thru-hull fittings below the water line. Pull out all your cabin cusions and look at the...
