    Time to upgrade. Looking at 5.0 MPI w Bravo 3

    Good evening - After a few years of boating we decided it’s time to upgrade into something a little newer and bigger. I’m familiar with the carbed 4.3 and Alpha Gen 1. The boat I’m eyeing has 5.0 mpi and Bravo 3. I’m trying to do as much research as possible as I’m not familiar with either...

    Outdrive gasket pushing out

    I’ve been having an issue with the outdrive gasket pushing out by the shift pocket (Alpha). Both surfaces are nice and clean, and I try real hard to torque everything down nice and even, but it always seems to push out no matter what I do. Reading through some old threads, someone mentioned...

    New trailer, different bunk measurements

    I'm replacing my old '89 eagle for a newer beefier '04 eagle. The bunk setup for the 2 are similar but not exact. I was hoping to get some extra set of eyes on my plan, or fresh ideas before I head down this road. Hopefully my drawing illustrates what I have going on. My thought was to cut down...

I understand the concept of how they work, but as I'm less than 24 hrs into this I lack the intricacies. There is a bolt on this setup (see pic) that I'm not sure of the purpose. If it was an...

    Where’s the grease going

    I’ve pumped A LOT of grease into the hub. It’s a single axle trailer with a “reliable sure lube” sticker on the frame. When pumping grease in I’m not seeing any squeeze out anywhere, no grease splatter on the inside of the wheel either. I would say I’m close to half a tube of grease for each...

    Upper shift shaft bushing r and r, and separate cooling issue

    While working a separate with the shift interrupter not engaging as it should, I pulled the drive off to replace the shift lever and found water in the shift pocket. So it’s time to change out the bushings. It’s an Alpha one Gen one (I can get S/N in the morning if it matters). If memory serves...

    Shift interrupter switch not working/ activating too late.

    Hi all - finally got the boat in the water yesterday for the first time this season. As a result of haste and my own stupidity last fall I had to replace the lower shift cable this spring (among a few other items). I adjusted the the lower shift cable and the remote shift cable, then for...
