    Alpha 1 fittment issue

    DO you think something hit it and bent the ring. According to what I have it should be 3 3/4 spacing, but even with that the 3 1/2 should fit

    Port 1900 and 547 Block

    This has started a couple weeks ago and been searching the net and found some info but the polling is happening about every second now. Not real sure but I think it started after either going to a pic link posted by a member at an offsite but was not a regular one. In about the same time I...

    Electrical Wiring Assistance Requested

    Do not connect the 24V wiring to the 12V. You can put a single bat switch in the main hot wire feeding the trolling motor just past the fuse. Most folks don't install one because the motor has an on/off switch built in with the power control. If yours does not, installing one should be good...

    Electrical Wiring Assistance Requested

    Howdy Since you motor is pull start the two banks can be setup separate, but maybe later if an electric start is used it could be an easy conversion. Here is the basic setup. The pic shows using a fuse and switch panels and the mains come from the one battery using a 10 AWG wires. The ground...

    Trying to find parts for posting on Forum

    On the Merc and BAM sites, I can look up by serial number, type and/or year. As GA pointed out, on the main parts page there are two Merc links on the left, top is outboards, bottom is sterndrives. The issue is you have to click on it to figure this out. In the search field it's not working...

    Atwood Surge Brake Dragging

    Your issue with only one wheel leads me to a brake cylinder, line or fitting. The springs in the axle should be retracting the shoes, so if their not doing that then check your brake cylinder first. If the brake cylinder hangs the shoes will also drag. In most cases it will not be the line or...

    Auto notification stopped

    My auto email notification stopped working. The last time it did this was year or so ago and logging out and back in, didn't work or turning off then back on. Is this a me only problem or something else?

    Mercruiser 4.3 info 4 parts needed

    You don't have risers, they are the blocks on the right of the pic. Agree with Rick, drain then take the elbow off and have a look. Bolts and plugs can be reused if they are undamaged, but if you do need new ones, they come with new plugs

    Alpha one gimble swivel pin (lower)

    Things don't add up for me. You mention Which would tell me your talking about part number 77123 which is item 8 But then you mention it is part number "17-99353" which is the bottom swivel pin item 14 If it is the bottom swivel pin then need to remove and my guess would be, you need to...

    Never say that happen before. Currently the only thing that is different for me is some avatars are not showing, I only see things like in the pic, assuming it's has to do with my browser settings. Others are fine

    Trying to find parts for posting on Forum

    Found out today that iboats has OEM parts, and that's great :cheer2: but there is an issue. Select a link (there are two) but neither tell me the top is outboard and the bottom is sterndrive, and maybe inboard States "Enter HP, year, model #", this doesn't work. It want's the year first, and...

    Rebuilding Mercruser 165 Inline 6

    Freeze plugs can be replaced, cheap parts and are done when rebuilding. They can also be replaced because their rusted, replace with brass ones.

    2005 nitro 2200 bay boat wiring help

    Howdy Guessing you have an outboard. Some outboards use different wiring arrangements. Have a look here for several http://www.maxrules.com/mercwireindex.html Now if your talking about wiring for lights, radio, depth finder etc, these are mostly generic.

    Stupid question

    I think I understand what your saying, but there are some words which are puzzling. If I get it, there is a spacer which is placed toward the rear

    Removing Volvo/penta steering Ram ( actuator) in a larson i/o setup

    Not a VP expert but have found the newer VP rams are very close to the Merc. The Merc has two pins with cotter pins holding each. One supplies the hydraulic assist and the other is pinned to the tiller (outdrive).

    lower unit installation problem continued

    It's roll of the dice IMO. As always, your doing the work and I'm just listening to what your saying. What you really need to confirm is 91-863372 with the alignment bar. Guess the big thing is I would hate for you to buy another coupler and later find out it was something else. So far my...
