I spent most of last Saturday changing the gimbol bearing and all three bellows on my boat. I have a 1992 Mercruiser 4.3L with an Alpha One Gen2 outdrive. After the bellows were replaced, I could not get the outdrive bolted on. I need an alignment tool.

Is there anyone within a 50 mile radius of Salisbury,NC that has one I can rent or borrow. PLEASE !

Might as well buy your own, you will need to check your alignment yearly.
You can usually find them on ebay for 40 to 60 bucks.

Thanks Don. I checked on ebay and there is one for around $14.98 plus $13.61 shipping. It says it is new and will work for the Alpha One Gen 2 and other models. I'm kind of weary because the other tools are selling for nearly $100.
it has detailed photos and it looks like the $100 models.

I bought that tool from the same seller on ebay and used a micrometer to check it when it came in. It was 100% to mercruisers specs. Allot of members have bought from that same seller with zero problems. Check his feedback, its almost perfect...
