    SEI Gen I Replacements - Anyone been running one for a while?

    It's time. The upper bearings are rough, corrosion is taking it's toll. I don't have the enthusiasm to rebuild the drive while I'm doing the motor, lol. It's over 25 years old. I have enough tools. So I'm thinking of just doing a swap. Has anybody been running an SEI drive for a few...

    Correct method to tap 12V for electric choke?

    I upgraded a worn QuadraJet this year, and opted for an electric choke rather than the hot-air/stove type. I'm getting conflicting info about where to tap power to the choke. Some say not at the coil, others say coil is ok, as long as it's a 12v Coil (It is). I'd prefer to wire a...

    FWC Peculiarities

    Particulars: 1985 Merc 260/MR Transom, Alpha One. San Juan MC304 FWC. Have the boat in the driveway this weekend doing the annual stuff. While running on the muffs I notice that cooling water is exiting only through the prop hub and the starboard opening in the transom. Check the elbows -...

    Alpha Experts?

    Greetings all! I opened up my Alpha drive today to change out the impeller & found a significant amount of Columbia River bottom (& perhaps a wad of DB Cooper's cash) in the cavity in front of the pump housing (where the shift linkage passes through). Perhaps a half-cup of sandy, gooey mud...
