    Alternator not putting out 14 volts.

    Maybe a 470 guy will come, but ALT's work mostly the same way. Its either a one wire which has all the control circuitry inside and no excite wires, or the excite wires are connected externally. Take the ALT to a ALT/starter shop and let them test it and or rebuild. Is it a one wire or more?

    No At least every other year (Most due every year) the drive "should" be removed and alignment checked. Anything done to the motor should always be checked

    1977 18’2” BeachCraft Mercruiser 888 302Ford

    You will be able to get internal parts for the 302, others may be a wild card This is the parts breakdown https://www.mercruiserparts.com/888-2-bbl-ford-302-v-8-1971-1977-31 Suggest looking real close and the stringers and transom. My guess is they need work and will cost plenty

    Verified it is TBV (Part number on port side elbow) but do not see knock sensor mounted. Don't think the motor has one installed The boat gauge is off because IR measuring 120* on thermostat housing and gauge shows 170*. Measure temp at the temp sender and not on top of the housing Not good...
