    Cannot get outdrive installed to the last 1/2 inch - need your advice!

    gonna have to get under it with a flashlight to see exactly if the shift arm is seated properly into the shift shoe.Once you have confirmed that it is (and both should be well greased) then put the 2 middle mounting nuts on and gently gently tighten them down a little at a time. Use a short...

    Hull cleaning

    I have used them all (bowl cleaners) best is Lysol 10X ,3 pack for $5 at Wallyworld. Dollar store ones wont work ,though they used to but just about everything there is watered down including the bleach. This stuff will stain your trailer so tarp it off or be really careful. Charlie

    Installing one of my alpha one drives and Can't believe I did this.....

    Best little widget I ever bought.Designed to do exactly what it does....keep the shift arm in place, wheel in slot and thats what it does.....great as long as you take it out before getting the drive on all the way.
