    Mercruiser alignment issues

    Problem started awhile back when I had a newer 3.0 installed. After it was installed I would get a rattle from the stern when stressing the u-joints (drive full left/right/up/down). Mechanic said it wasn't bad and the metal hull just amplified it. Unfortunately I was out of town and didn't have...

    What is this prop?

    I previously posted about this under another topic, mixed in with other questions and never really got an answer. I have searched and searched with no results. I was given a 3 blade stainless prop and was told it was a 19p for a mercruiser. It will not work on my alpha outdrive. The metal...

    A new prop, Where should I start?

    I have 21ft StarCraft with now a 3.0 Mercruiser and an Alpha 1 outdrive. The boat has recently (but slowly) been completely redone. All the old heavy marine ply and saturated pour in foam was removed. The plywood (including the transom) was replaced with 3/4 Arauco Exterior ply, all triple...

I am pretty sure I shaved about 800#s plus new laity during rework. Took it out on the lake. Running 33mph at 4500 rpm with more throttle to...

    1985 21 ft Starcraft Slow Project

    Bought this boat a couple of years ago and now it is time to start fixing some of the things with it. I don't think the last person to update it used marine tolerable materials. The floors are starting to go and the plywood backings in the bow have started crumbling. Being active duty the...

    Mercruiser 140 with Pertronix issue, no spark.

    I seem to be having the same exact problem with my 140. It is wierd how this just starts (or in regards to the motor doesn't start) one day out of the blue. I read all my voltages and am puzzled: I disconnect all wires from the (+) side of the coil, I have a purple-ish wire from the choke, a...
