    Gimbal Housing Part Numbers

    After a lot of research on gimbal housing castings, here is a chart that I have created using the info I found. I believe that to convert from 4 bolt offset Y pipe bolt pattern to the 5 bolt pattern compatible with newer Y pipes with non-offset bolts, the 42559-C casting was created by...

    79 Crestliner Norseman 22 Cuddy in need of repower

    That sounds good but you might want to check for corrosion then.

    Repair Y Pipe Possible?

    It was a little more difficult now as EBay split off PayPal as a separate company per an EBay customer service person. Probably a whole owned subsidiary.

    Alpha1 350 raw cooled boils and ticks rapidly after short time on muffs

    Does your new thermostat have a small air bypass hole so that the block can fill fully and during filling let the air bleed past the thermostat with it closed?

    Repair Y Pipe Possible?

    Well, after a bit of effort and time with both EBay and PayPal I finally got my money back.

    79 Crestliner Norseman 22 Cuddy in need of repower

    I am still in process doing this exact conversion on my 76 Sea Ray SRV 220 (see profile pic) from original OMC drive with Ford Windsor 351 to Mercruiser drive with GM 5.7L Vortec. As was mentioned above, the OMC is one big hole in the back of the boat. I don't see that there is anyway to...

    Exhaust Elbow Fit Problem

    Yup, only three holes line up. I see in 90 to 92, Mercruiser added the additional top hole to the gimbal housing apparently so that either Y pipe will fit but I have the older gimbal housing with the offset. So, to put in 4 bolts, I either have to find a Y pipe with the old bolt pattern that...

    Exhaust Elbow Fit Problem

    Ok, so hit a wall here and getting nowhere fast. My old 3 inch Y pipe which matches my gimbal housing is the offset bolt pattern. It appears that the 807130A4 that is needed to connect to the HGE dry joint exhaust risers is a non-offset/non-symmetrical bolt pattern. Is there a different part...

    Towing Laws Sticky Link Needs Update

    Yeah, I missed the date on that. I didn't find any other updated info anywhere that covers all states so guessing you have to look state by state on their websites.

    Mine uses T Bolts and I think that many do. So, guessing yours needs T Bolts also.

    Seawater Pickup

    In my message #20 above, the last picture is the transom and rollers from the side of the boat. I have about a 6 inch space between the two. I am thinking about putting the seawater pickup close to the transom in the space between the transom and rollers. How close can a thru hull seawater...

    Can you post pictures of the boat, the windshield and the underside of the windshield frame where it would sit on the boat?

    info on alpha one gen 1? water pump base..

    I have found that sometimes on EBay and even Amazon, sell items that they show as compatible with the Mercruiser part numbers but have subtle differences. Sierra sometimes does that too (based upon my experience with cooling hoses). Other sellers don't send what the picture shows. Best to...

    info on alpha one gen 1? water pump base..

    I am unclear on your comments about the pre-load pin. From all of my research, the pre-load pin is for the 1974 to 1982 drive and the 1983 on does not use a pre-load pin. The 1983 on uses a different method for pre-load. If yours has the pin, then it would be pre-1983 or could be a mixture of...

    Repair Y Pipe Possible?

    I got a response from the seller saying he didn't understand why EBay hadn't refunded me yet as he said they approved it due to damage. I also got a message from EBay saying they sent the seller a final notice. Unfortunately, the $70 I paid him to ship it due to a mix up in the EBay offer...

    Repair Y Pipe Possible?

    My experience lately is that sellers are not being responsive even if you are asking questions about what they are selling and the descriptions tend to be much better than the actual condition. Today is the day that I can get EBay involved so just sent them the request. I have never had to go...

    Repair Y Pipe Possible?

    No way that I have the DIY skills either so need to have a Pro do it or find a new one. I have not heard anything from the seller on EBay even though having sent messages, sent pictures and filed a return request.
