    1988 mercruiser alpha one water pump issue

    when you took the old impeller out, did you find all the missing pieces? did you replace just the impeller, or a whole pump kit? at idle, the hose from the transom shield should be shooting about 7-8" up in the air.

    Kind of a weird question on a/c for boat

    you know those need to be located down in the room you intend to cool (not outside the room) and you only vent the hot air out. additionally, the condensate needs to drain, so you would be filling your bilge with water unless you only want it to run for 20 minutes. they also do not last long...

    Transom replacement

    if you have wet foam, you have wet stringers and transom. you do not have solid stringers from the look at the pictures, I would recommend a full gut-n-rebuild.
