    Any upstate NYers around?

    No boat, no kids. Just a convertible and my wife. :) But yeah, also realizing that there's a whole huge lake right there, I'm sure there's cool stuff there, right?

    Gauge Identification / Testing / Replacement

    Also, as far as testing the gauges, the wiring to the plug looks standard: blue-light, black-ground, purple -12v, last wire -sender.

    Tow rope to Talon bracket?

    Just got mine up on a slalom this weekend for the first time. He was so excited.

    Any upstate NYers around?

    Looking for somewhere to stay for a night on the way to Toronto. Probably somewhere in the vicinity of 219, maybe 1-3 hours south of Niagara falls. Any cool little towns, b&b's, little lakes, etc?

    1990 Wellcraft 223 Eclipse

    Flat section could be custom made by a glass shop for short money. Curved, not as easy. If that piece was purchased through Taylor made, then yeah, gonna be spendy regardless of the shape

    alpha 1 gen 1 outdrive issue

    IIRC that was in the tub for a while. If it wasn't getting water should have been toast.

    Alpha1 Gen1 Does Not Engage FWD or REV

    Probe the drains with some wire or something; scale can keep the engine from draining.

    alpha 1 gen 1 outdrive issue

    Hey, @newtoboat101 You caused quite a stir last year after running your drive in a tub instead of muffs. Did that fry your impeller?

    Where can I find the oil filter?

    Yes, you need to raise the front of your engine

    Alpha1 Gen1 Does Not Engage FWD or REV

    The guy before you didn't do any maintenance either. Sucks throwing in the towel in June, swapping in a new drive is easy if you can find one. Once the gears grenaded that thickened up the oil. Didn't have time to fully circulate. Conventional wisdom is that your lower is now contaminated and...

    Fire extinguisher system

    That looks more like a standard CEL and generic warning at the helm rather than fume detector

    Where can I find the oil filter?

    Uneven witness marks, but we don't know which way is up

    water in engine, is it salvageable?

    Idk, tough to assess the block based on those pics. You need to clean out those cylinders at least to see how much rust is there. Head for sure needs addressed, and at least test exhaust components. If getting on the water >> worth more than your time, you can roll the dice. Maybe you can bring...

    letting in water around motor

    Or rotten transom. But don't be stupid on this one. That boat is 100% not useable until fixed.

    Mercrusier MC 1 outdrive

    Here, fixed that for you 😉

    Where can I find the oil filter?

    I'm probably in the minority that I just use a hammer... But you already got one off

    Alpha1 Gen1 Does Not Engage FWD or REV

    Not being completely empty =/= full. That drive gear oil looks original to the boat. If this boat is new to you, you need to do all of the maintenance that's been ignored. A new SEI drive is your quickest way back on the water, or something off CL if you can find it

    Where can I find the oil filter?

    Ha, didn't know you did the pontoon seat refit as well. Remote oil filter was the best thing I did when I swapped engines. Gotta put in some ball valves for winterizing, and it will almost be as easy to maintain as a 470 :)

    Alpha1 Gen1 Does Not Engage FWD or REV

    No... That cable is just a continuity wire, nothing to do with your issue. Agree with @kenny nunez and @dubs283 that the overheat + not getting into gear would suspect shredding gears, broken outdrive driveshaft or spun engine coupler. 1. I'm not real clear on what happens when you activate the...

    1990 Wellcraft 223 Eclipse

    Wondering if anyone has replaced a curved glass windshield with flat glass. I bet a whole custom flat glass windshield would cost less than 1 piece of curved glass specific to that boat.
