    what is make and model?

    have you gone thru the library on fiberglassics? remember over the last 100 years, over 150,000 boat manufacturers have come and gone, many only building one or two boats. judging by the look of the boat, it pre-dates the internet by at least 2 decades. so unless there is a cult following or...

    Is my outdrive alpha one gen one? and How can I test a used outdrive?

    pull the top cap and look. if your gears are toast, they are toast. cost to rebuild the drive far exceeds getting a used good drive or an SEI drive you appear to be unsure of the year. what year does your paperwork say the boat is? make sure it is titled/registered in your name prior to...

    1980s sn2001 boat wanted

    Removing bearing carrier from DP-SM

    the issue is that the housing is growing inward with corrosion and the bearing carrier is growing outward with corrosion. skip the oil. mix up 50% acetone and 50% ATF. remember, the oil isnt there to remove corrosion. its there to aid in the corrosion peaks to slide past each other.
