    Outdrive does not want to re -install in boat

    One thing that bothers me is that when I took the outdrive off initially , it was hard to do may be very dry grease or poor engine alignment. Alignment tool will slide in all the way till it bottoms out without any real force and pull out the same way.

It"gimbals" means its like an eyeball, moves in all direction.When you hit the bar up,down,left, right, etc to align the bearing with the coupler . If you cannot install the tool all the way by...

    Outdrive does not want to re -install in boat

    If you changed the gimbal bearing you did not center it in the coupler with the alignment bar. So the way you installed the drive MIGHT WORK. If the alignment is actually off you will be removing the motor to replace the coupler in under 50 hours

    asking: Alpha gen2 adding grease fitting clarification

    A1, GEN II, Bravo there all the same . There should not be a plate where the fitting gets drilled Have you removed the drive? rusted U joints will make turning very difficult

    Help with charging system?

    nothing to worry about for testing, if the alt now responds correctly then your 90a fuse link is bad. If it was good you would see 12v at the output post with the engine off

    Help with charging system?

    not connected to a 12v source on the output lead will result in a runaway alt, connect the output to the battery and retest

    Help with charging system?

    An alt puts out 14.6 PERIOD, not 24 unless your alt was made for a diesel application. Seeing anything over 14 v means the alt is not connected to the battery. With the motor off, do you see 12v at the alt output terminal?
