    Re-sealed my first Cobra SX drive...bellows was full of gear lube.

    Not that bad of a job! Pressure tested to 14 psi after it was assembled and no leaks!Vacuum test was good too... Feel like i learned something..:D Did the bellows,gimbal bearing and everything is ready to bolt back on.. The SX is not bad at all to work on..I liked it.

    Diameter question

    Looking at the Solas Amita props.They offer two different diameters in the 17 pitch for my motor. I have enough clearance for the larger size than my original 14.5 prop. Any benefits in stepping up in size? Only about 15 bucks difference in price too.

    New Mercruiser drain and fill plug gaskets

    I have noticed on the 2009 and up Alpha drives they are now using a yellow rubber type crush gasket instead of the blue ones. Anyone know if these are just a newer design or must they be used on the new drives? Doing a service on one right now and i only stock the blue gaskets..:rolleyes:
