    Mercruiser Parts Shortage?

    Worst comes to worst the stud could be made. The part is still used on new transom assemblies but might need for production. Local machine shop should be able to make The arrestor, unless your restoring and need for authentic then get an after market or any that will fit.

    Fuel tank filling, possible vent line issues

    Pulling tubes from my ski eye.

    Mercruiser 3.0 stalls when putting into gear

    Correct, open water The Alpha drive uses what's called a dog clutch. When in gear and under load (in the water) the forces on the prop keep the clutch from releasing. So what the interruptor switch does is cause the motor to stumble which unloads the clutch so it can be moved. It doesn't...

    Trim limit not working on Alpha 1 Gen 2 after I cleaned connection
