    Lube for hinge pins?

    In manual 14 page 1B-7, I'm unclear what to lube the hinge pins with. Is it U-Joint and Gimbal Bearing Grease also?

    Hello all, I'm going to service my outdrive and check my engine alignment myself, first time for me. Serial # OL977935. I've been studying manual #14 to be sure I have everything I need.

    Decipher this please 48 74268A4 21P

    This number is stamped on my stainless prop. I just spun the hub today and a very nice family towed my 21' Tracker Party Deck all the way across the lake so I could limp on in to the launch. They would not take money or anything. Many thanks to them and I will pay that forward one day. This prop...

    2001 4.3L Alpha 1 - one exhaust manifold is hot and she shakes in gear.

    Just got my 2001 4.3L Alpha 1 Tracker Party Deck out of the shop. For my $2600 they pulled the engine and replaced the rotten transom, replaced the lower unit with a used one that was serviced because they could not get the bent prop shaft out of mine, oil and filter change, new fuel filter and...

    Surge brake take up on pull off???

    2001 4.3 location of oil and high temp switches?

    The boat mechanic says this is not the original engine so I'm not sure what was changed. I have learned a lot about this boat, but I can't find the oil pressure and high temperature buzzer switches. The brown w/blue stripe wire at the out drive oil reservoir will sound the buzzer when grounded...

    Can't find timining marks on 2001 4.3 Alpha One

    Bought this boat last fall. While working on other problems I bumped the distributor and it moved. The bolt was not tight. I am familiar with timing engines from 20 years ago, so after reading the Seloc manual it seemed like a snap. When I looked for timing marks on the front of the motor,all I...

    2001 4.3 has rough idle and water in the oil.

    I have looked through the forum and can't find a problem exactly like mine. This is my first post. I will try to be concise. 2001 Tracker Party Deck with a 4.3, 2 barrel, alpha one. Engine # OM060235. Bought it in Feb. this year. Ran great, idled very smooth with strong acceleration. Had the out...
