I am putting my outdrive back on the boat after being off for a while. I can't for the life of me figure out why I have two of the trim cylinder bushings left over (P/N: 23-815950). I have two in each trim cylinder end for a total of 8 on the unit. Is there anywhere else on these drives that...
I found a locked pump this weekend when going to winterize my 95 kawasaki ZXI 750. The impeller locked up once before a few years ago and I pulled everything apart and honed the wear ring until the impeller would spin freely again. This time the wear ring has bulged much worse and I need another...
I have a 97 SeaDoo GSI and it began giving problems this weekend. The ski started to bog down and would not plane out. The motor seems to be revving okay and runs fine but it will not take off. It seems like an impeller issue. So I pulled the seat and noticed water shooting from the tuned pipe...
I have a 1995 dixie V-19 I/O ski boat with a 4.3 merc. alpha 1 gen II. When i got the boat it had a 14x23 stainless prop and topped out at 4100rpm and 40mph speedo. I have since changed to a 14x21 stainless prop and I am getting much better results in the skiing dept. Now I'm getting 4500rpm and...
I have a 1995 mercruiser 4.3 with the alpha 1 gen II drive in a V19 Dixie ski boat. WOT is just over 4000rpm and top speed with average load is just over 40mph(gauge). The prop doesn't have a lot of markings or numbers on it, but what i can make out looks like a 15x23.
-Does this prop dimension...
I have a 1995 4.3 mercruiser and the temp gauge isn't working. Here's what i've done, any advice is appreciated.
-Gauge tests good per merc manual.
-With key in run position, gauge bounces slightly when lead is placed on and off of temp sender (indicating connectivity of lead wire)
-When temp...
Can the tilt and trim senders be installed without the removal of the bell housing? Do I have to disconnect all the bellows and bell housing to do this replacement? Thanks
It is an alpha 1 gen II, 1995.
I have a 1995 dixie V19 that has some hull damage on the bottom keel. The hull appears to have taken a hard blow to the trailer axle at some point prior to my ownership of the vessel. The fiberglass and gelcoat are cracked and the stringer is visible from the bottom (or, what I believe to be the...
I have a 1995 4.3LX merc and the valve covers say "vortec" on them but I've read some contradictory information that says it may not be. Is there a way to know if it is actually a vortec motor? Or did someone clever just grab some vortec valve covers and sport it up. I don't have the whole...
Alpha 1 Gen II: Can i use anything else in place of the speedo tubing? Is this standard tubing i can find at a parts store? or should i pony up and pay for the real stuff?
thanks!
Alpha 1 Gen II:
Is this just standard heater hose that you can buy from any parts store or is there something so special about this water hose that I should pay $13-14? And I'm guessing that the water hose lasts longer than the bellows typically?
Thanks
I'm unsure on the year (late 80's/early 90's)but I have a sears gamefisher that over heats on load. It'll run forever in a bucket and no problems, but when put on a boat and under a load, (higher rpm also) it over heats and cuts off. Any ideas?
I have a 95 mercruiser 4.3LX with the alpha 1 Gen II outdrive that I've been rebuilding due to improper winterization by the previous owner. I have the motor back together and all is well. I'm almost ready to put the motor back in place and I'm also in the process of replacing the gimbal...
