    Age Old Sealer Question - Perfect Seal

    Thanks, I found the Locktite aviation version and ordered it. I also got a note back from Locktite that says Locktite Type A is still available. Not sure where to order it though...

    Age Old Sealer Question - Perfect Seal

    Thanks. Do you know if it is the same as the Permatex Aviation Form A Gasket since Locktite bought out Permatex?

    Age Old Sealer Question - Perfect Seal

    Starting the reassembly of my lower unit and realized I hadn't ordered any sealant. So, looking for Perfect Seal it appears nobody carries it anymore. The same with Loctite A. In the past, Aviation Gasket Maker was listed as a possible replacement for Perfect Seal but it sounded as though it...

    Alpha One Bearing Carrier Question

    Definitely learning a lot by doing the whole drive myself as a complete restoration. It’s all the little things and watching them closely. Like, I just pressed the new bearing, thrust washer and reverse gear into the bearing carrier. The oring went on fine but looking at it on there it looks...

    Alpha One Bearing Carrier Question

    After hours of searching I was able to find that the bearing carrier with the key way is used on a standard rotation and the one without the key way is used on a counter rotation set up.

    Alpha One Bearing Carrier Question

    Still not sure which carrier to use but in trying to get my head around the gears and rotation, I created the following chart. Please look this over and let me know if I have it correct or not (I may be totally out to lunch)? I can easily modify it to make any corrections/additions. Thought...

    Alpha One Bearing Carrier Question

    Back to this question. I did receive the bearing carrier and new housing but had to return the housing since it was for an R drive and not an MR drive. I bought another new Quicksilver housing (1623-8951A27) that is correct of an MR drive. The new housing came with a new bearing carrier, a...

    Tube Part Number??

    So, I went ahead and pulled the gimbal housing off the boat. The light colored nylon looking tube in the picture is what I pulled out. The nice flared end was toward the front of the housing (engine side) and the rather deformed end was towards the back of the housing. The black part is what...

    Tube Part Number??

    I put the drive description in my signature block but it is an Alpha One Gen One MR... I didn't remove the cable as I got the gimbal housing as a used loose piece. After looking at it again last night it appears to be plastic. It is flared towards the front and appears flared towards the back...

    Tube Part Number??

    I am rounding up replacement parts for my gimbal housing. Looking in the back of the housing there appears to be a replaceable tube (shift cable passage??) but I can't find it on the parts diagram to get the part number. Can anybody give me the part number or kit number that has the part...

    Pinion Bearing MC-1/R versus MR

    I have all the Mercruiser tools including the shimming tools... The only issue is how many shims to start with for the forward bearing... If it is not right, then you have to pull the race to add or subtract.. That appears to be the most difficult part.. Since you suggest and SEI lower unit...

    Pinion Bearing MC-1/R versus MR

    Thanks, after much research I finally got to the bottom of it. Although the housing was sold as a brand new 1623-8951A37 which is used on an MR drive, it is really a 1623-5356A4 housing which is used on an R drive. Yup, they are not interchangeable. I am returning the housing for a refund and...

    Pinion Bearing MC-1/R versus MR

    So, I am test fitting parts to get ready for assembly of my lower unit. The new lower housing I bought came with a lower roller pinion bearing pre-installed. When I tried to insert the vertical driveshaft, it would not go into the bearing. Looking closer, the rollers in the bearing are larger...

    Rub Rail Restoration??

    I was just looking at semi-rigid rail on the Taco site. Are these a good or bad idea?

    Lower Shift Shaft Bushing and Seals Kit??

    Hmm, guess I will have to see if I can find a serial number on the transom assembly. The labels are gone for it. The upper unit had a metal stamped serial number so hoping somewhere there is a metal stamped on on the transom assembly.
