    Painting my outdrives

    I have both of my Alpha One drives off for the winter to replace impellers and give them a general once over sense the boat was new to us last year, and we are finding the previous mechanic didn't do so great. One of my projects is to sand down many years of bottom pain and repaint the drives to...

    Looking for an OEM Ice maker

    Id like an ice maker in our 1994 30DA. I was hoping to find one that will fit somewhere that would have been original if the boat had been built with one. We have a friend with a 40 foot that is a 12v mounted up on the deck.

    Alpha one gen one repair manual

    Does anyone have a PDF or a link to a free down load of a repair manual for my Alpha one Gen one stern drive. I still have an oil leak. I've chased it down to the top half of the unit so I have a new seal kit for it but I've never had the top side apart.

    The boat gods sent me a sign this morning. Its spring.

    I woke up this morning (of course to some wind) and when I looked out the window at the boat (as I do every morning) I saw her bow sticking out from under the tarp. She has worked her way out :smt038. So I guess its time to uncover her today. :grin:

    Sundeck rot repair

    Well spring is finally here. But I cant uncover her until I fix a hatch leak. So today I pulled the front hatch. It was a chore. I was pretty sure I would find some rot between the fiberglass. The high side is MUSH. I didnt push on it much until I decide what i need to do to fix it. I know, I...

    Shrink Wrap DIY Advise

    Ok, if you saw my last post you know I need to recover my boat (for the rest of winter) as a bad wind storm tore my 100 dollar tarp to hell and twisted up my 50 dollar wood A-frame. A friend of ours shrink wraps his own boat every year. He uses a "weed burner torch that he smashed the end of...

    I HATE winter. Wind gets the best of my boat

    Welcome to the northeast. We had a week of subzero temps followed by 3 days of 50+ degree days with 60mph winds. Found the bow of the boat on the ground this morning and the tarp torn to hell. I got the boat up off the ground with the stands one turn at a time. I'm looking for the best price on...

    Oil leaking from lower unit drain.

    1988 Sea Ray 268 Sundancer with twin 4.3s. After taking the boat out of the water to winterize it at home, I lowered both lower units to be sure they were drained. On the starboard unit, the starboard side of it, just above the horizontal shaft to the prop, toward the front of the unit is a...

    4.3 Block drains???

    Its my first year with our 268. It has twin 4.3s. I disconnected all the hoses I could reach and pulled the drain plugs out of the manifolds (and got water out of all of them). I cant seem to find any plugs on the block though. For those of us with twins you know it is VERY difficult to get down...

    Lead on an 88 268 parts boat

    I have a lead on an 88 268 with a 5.7l Merc. The owner wants to sell the entire boat, not parts off it. But between paying to have it transported and the asking price I wont break even. Not sure if someone else may want it then I could strike a deal up for the bow rail and a few other little...
