    1985 Grew 186

    Wait, sorry I am a bit confused… The hull seems to be in good shape and the flooring is solid. Is there something else we should be concerned with? I understand it’s an old boat but everything seems in good standing…

    Hi, Have a 1985 grew 186 that does not have a capacity label or complaince notice. It has not had one since we purchased the boat. Any idea how I can find this information? I also think it’s not illegal that we don’t have one, but can you help to confirm? From Canada and the boat is roughly...

    Mercruiser 470 Starter

    hi all, looking for your thoughts. our starter has gone bad and looking to get it rebuilt. The local rebuild shop has suggested that we do not have a marine starter and wants to sell us a new one. Apparently, the starter doesnt have the shield for sparks and this could obviously cause a fire...

    Alpha one lower shift cable

    This information is fantastic. I would like to follow up with a few questions. It sounds like I should tap anyways? Although the threading is from the FWD, tapping will help clear out the junk. The tap mentioned above 1/4 18 NPS May still help clean out the threads and allow the cable...

    Alpha one lower shift cable

    Aftermarket. Unfortunately… I completely understand your point. When we look at pic 2, the threaded nuts are opposite to each other but it’s the best way I can get a shot of the threads closest together. They seem to match but curious on your further thoughts. I am by far, anything from an...

    Alpha one lower shift cable

    Ok sorry am a bit confused. Do you think I have the wrong replacement cable? And for the tap, is it to clean up my current threading or is it to create new thread? I just don’t want to destroy what I have already any further lol

    Alpha one lower shift cable

    For the life of me, having troubles with the brass bolt on the lower shift cable we’ve ordered. The thread pattern looks right, the size looks right. Any suggestions? Photos for reference. We’re able to screw on the original brass nut, but it’s broken so it needs to be replaced
