Scott,
That you for posting this. Mine is the 190 hp carb, therefore, i will have to get the correct drive or rebuild it. Thanks again, extremely helpful.
Scott,
The boat I want to put it on is a 2006 searay 185 sport that weighs approximately 2400lbs with a fiberglass hull. The boat worked fine with the prop it had on prior. I have to check and see which size prop was on there.
Scott, thank you and I do apologize. This is my 1st post.
The boat is a gen 2, the 1.94.1 drive leg came off a 2005 bayliner 175 with a 3.0 engine. The boat I want to put it on is a 2006 searay 185 sport with a 4.3 engine.
You are spot on, i would like to put the 1.94:1 drive behind a 1.81:1...
I have a mercruiser 4.3 engine and no compatible outdrive for the boat. However, I do have an alpha 1 gen 2, 3.0 outdrive. I know the gears are different in a 3.0 and a 4.3.
Can I put he 3.0 outdrive on the 4.3 engine and what pitch would I need to re-prop to?
