    Where to pass the fuel filling hose and vent fuel hose?

    This is what I am thinking. I don't want to do hole in the stringer, there is also foam there that I will need to cut and that would just be a mess. "running to the back will create a dip in the line and you will never get fuel in the tank" I am not sure how this would create a problem can you...

    Drive stuck in forward position

    @Bt Doctur Thanks for that info. So I clearly have a problem with my drive since it won't lock when I move the propeller CCW and the shoe won't align straight when I put it in forward. From what I understand I should open it and check what is going on.

    Drive stuck in forward position

    Ok so I guess I need to adjust it? And for that I will need to open the drive if I did understand correctly. One thing that is weird is the drive won't locked CCW, I can spin the prop CCW with no problem and it won't lock. I don't know if this is a problem. I think I have an MC1 drive, but it's...

    Drive stuck in forward position

    All right so as what I understand, my drive doesn't want to shift in forward position. From what the last owner told me, the drive was remove during the winter for storage. He didn't told me much actually, so it is possible that it wasn't working when I sold it to me... @nola mike Yeah on the...

    Drive stuck in forward position

    Ok so I removed the drive and made some inspection and took pictures.This doesn't want to be straight. It only want to go in neutral or reverse position. Am I right thinking that?

    Drive stuck in forward position

    Hum yeah I was able to move it that way. I've put it in forward position before putting it back to the boat. So I did everything fine? I will remove the drive and reinstall it one more time to see.

    Drive stuck in forward position

    Yeah right this is what I did, but maybe it did move when I installed it. Do you have a manual for the installation?

    Drive stuck in forward position

    Ok yeah I will check that. If the shoe you are talking about is what I think it is, I did put it in straight position but maybe it did move when I installed it. I think there is one shoe on the drive also and I did put it straight too.

    Drive stuck in forward position

    I did check the shifting operation and it was working good. I was able to start the engine without the drive since I was able to put it in neutral position. But with the drive I can't go in neutral. The drive is a mercruiser pre-alpha I beleived MC1 is what they called it. The engine is a 1998...

    Drive stuck in forward position

    Hello, I just bought a boat and the drive wasn't install on it. So I did install it but now the shifter is stuck in the forward position. I can't shift it to neutral or reverse. Is this can be a problem of installation or the shifter cable are not adjusted correctly? Thank you, Sam

    Mercruiser MC1 drive (Pre-alpha) Rebuild

    Ok thanks, that is also what I tought I will reuse it since no one seems to be selling this part. Yeah I was thinking maybe go with the alpha cylinder but they are quite expensive. If I am going to go that way I would probably replace the drive completely. I am not sure which part are you...
