    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?

    Mercruiser 140 Manifold HELP!!!!

    Ok, background. I was one of those dummies who didn't winterize his boat. To my defense, I am from Florida, where it didn't get cold enough to freeze in the block, so winterizing was greasing everything up, treating the fuel and making sure the outdrive drained all the way. I came back from...

    21' Starcraft SS

    Looking for a new prop. 1985 Starcraft SS with a 140 Merceuiser Alpha1. Prior to refurbish of hull and interior I was running about 28mph at 4500 rpm WOT. 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...

    Re: 1985 21 ft Starcraft Slow Project Ok, busy and productive day. Got the boat hung last night. Started early this morning prepping the bottom, ended up finding quite a bit of corrosion under the paint where it sits on the runners, including 1 small hole. I will plug it with a rivet and...

    1985 21 ft Starcraft Slow Project

    Re: 1985 21 ft Starcraft Slow Project Threw some of the floorbards in just to see how they were looking. I like it. They look loose in the pictures but once they are screwed down they should be nice and tight. Another round of JB Weld to finish filling in the holes, some sanding on the JB...
