This is my first year winterizing an inboard. From what I have read on here I should pull all the hoses that go to the t-stat and pour the poly RV antifreeze in there. Does this get into the water hose for the out drive? I have a mercruiser 260 w/alpha one outdrive. My next question is if I...

I am just starting to restore the original teak in my boat. The PO seems to of put a varnish or clear coat over it so I was thinking of using 120 grit to strip it smooth and 220 grit to finish out with.

I just bought a 1980 245 DA and they put a new out drive on it for me (new to me). It is a SE106 which I believe is the alpha 1 gen 1 replacement. The problem is I need a pivot pin that connects to rear of drive (the long one). What I measured was about 10 1/8 long pin needed and have found...

I just purchased this boat for an unbeatable price since it was a trade-in at a local Marine shop here in Ontario, Canada. 2500 w/trailer and out drive. The boat runs great and the hull is in decent shape for it's age. I was unable to get it water tested since I had to wait until next Tuesday...
