well I got my seville out and figured I would change the oil in the outdrive. I have the alpha 1 drive. I used a pump to fill it from the bottom and all I could get in it was just a little over 1 quart before it started leaking out of the top vent hole. It sure doesn't sound like very much oil...

My sister got an old searay for free that she was goint to fix up but after looking in to it she decided it was too far gone. I figured I would pull the outdrive and store it in the shop. I can't seem to figure out what it is. The top looks to be the Pre Alpha because of the fins on the side on...

I have a 1988 sea ray seville 21FT. The prop looks almost new so I'm thinking the guy has put a new prop on it. The prop has 14.5 19 stamped on it. My engine is a 4.3 V6. The engine runs great but won't rev past 4k. We have a small lake so zipping from end to end doesn't take very long but it...

I'm going to be changing the oil this fall in the drive but am not sure what gear oil to use. I see there is synthetic and regular lube. What would you recommend for the alpha 1? Also is this gear oil like an 80w90 weight or something else?

I was just wondering are there grease fittings on the U joints on the alpha 1? If so how do ya get to them to grease them? Only thing I could think of was to remove the clamps for the boot that goes around them and try to get on the zerk. I figured I would get it all lubed and greased when I put...

I see several zerks but am not sure what one is for the gimbal bearing. I have the sea ray maintenance manual but it just shows areas for grease points. Just want to make sure I get all of them.

Ok guys please don't laugh:huh: Today was the second time I have ever drivin a boat. We had it out at our local lake today. The lake was pretty much over crowded with people tubing and alot of what I would call speedracers, haha. It's not a very big lake so the water was very rough will all the...

well I put the boat in the water for the first time since I got it. We instantly noticed that water was leaking in under the engine. Found that it's leaking at the seam in the rear where the aluminum trim is. I drilled the rivits out and removed the trim and sure enough, that's where it's...

I need to replace my coil but nobody around here can tell me if it's for the internal or external resistor. The engine is a 4.3 V6 with electronic ignition. the coil say Mercury marine thunderbolt IV with a part number 392-7803. Can anybody tell me what kind of coil this is?

Hey guys I just got a 1988 sea ray with a 4.3 v6. The boat was givin to me because of some engine problems but I got it going. Here is the problem, I know nothing about boats and can't figure out how to check the oil in the outdrive unit. I see a small screw plug at the very bottom and one at...
