Hey guys,, just put in a new triangular engine coupler & driveshaft,,, how much grease does this set up take being brand new,, I put in 12 pumps of Castrol poly blue,, Let me know,,, finally getting this back together !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am still trying to get a "round " style coupler to go into my crank/flywheel. Since my 1985 motor was shown taking either/or style coupler, and after seeing a recent post of someone here swapping a newer motor that was blown to an older one. He also went from a round style to a triangular one...
Ordered a engine coupler #76850A-2 for my 1985 4 cycl. 120 hp. merc. motor. Serial # A492171. Old one was round, Started to assemble today, and coupler would not sit down against flywheel. My friend measured the protrusion on the back of the coupler and the hole in the flywheel where it goes...

On my 1985 merc. outdrive, that I am assembling. I bought shift shaft bushing kit #23-806036A1 from merc. It came with 2 brass bushings and 2 hard plastic seals.
Are the plastic seals for another model? As, there was no plastic seals, or room for them when I removed the bottom/bigger one, from...
Hey guys,,I am trying to replace my bellows,, I am using your technique of a 9/16th spark plug socket backed by a 11/16th plug socket. I cannot get the brass nut to come loose and it is now starting to round off ! I tried SOME heat, in case locktite was used !
Any recommendations as to my next...
Ok,, here's my first of many questions,, A 1985 merc. I-MR outdrive with a 120 hp. motor. I bought a Merc. gimbal bearing,, after getting my old one out,, and comparing,, the new one has no hole in the outside diameter,, I am assuming it is the newer "permalube" type ...
I have a 1985 Alpha outdrive,, what is everyones opionion ??? put an exhaust bellows back on or a tube ?
This is my first time for tearing my outdrive apart this far !! So far everyone's advice has been invaluable ...
I'm ready to slide my engine forward, to get to my engine coupler. It is a 1985 merc 120 hp. Obviously I will hook one end of my chain to either lifting hook, attached to the front of the motor. Now the question is,, if I split it at the flywheel housing, where do you think would be the best...

Which engine coupler came on this engine ? I believe mine is bad !

This is my second season with an I/O.. I have a 18 ft. 1985 Starcraft with a mercruiser(chevy)2.5 liter,,with aplha 1 outdrive. While test driving it today,, I noticed a small oil leak, on the starboard side,,coming off the starter body.Do you think the rear main seal is getting old ? I believe...
Anyone know where I can get a map or maps of Lake Erie,, with the GPS cordinates on it ? My local Gander Mountain store has them, but they only go out a couple of miles, I'd at least like to have it show out to the Canadian line. Someone must make them, as I ran into a charter captain at a local...
The intermediate shift shaft, in the lower end of my drive shaft housing is somewhat sloppy ! The shaft does not show any signs of wear and the bushing is not out of round or oblonged, but is very thin, shouldn't the shift shaft fit more "snugly" in the busing ? I have a 1985 I-MR aplha unit.

I just recently purchased my first I/O,, a 1985 Starcraft with a Mercruiser 120. My control panel has a light for the oil, I am assuming it is like an idiot light on a car, and is suppose to light up till the engine builds pressure. If I ground the wire, the light comes on, which should mean the...
