I've got an Alpha one SS lower unit on my boat. Due to a huge screwup it froze last winter and cracked badly. I took it in to the local prop shop and was assured it could be welded and fixed. I since gotten it back and had to take it back to the shop without ever installing it. It keeps leaking oil out of various pinholes and from the weld job and keeps recracking. I am seriously worried about putting this back on my boat only to get out on the water and have it give out. He tells me he can fix it however, once the part is under a load I am worried it will break again. I have been unable to locate a new or used case for this particular model. It is my understanding that they are highly desireable and hard to come by. If anyone has any suggestions or know where I might locate one of these I would sure appreciate it. I am out of leads and boating season is getting awefully close....

Re: Alpha One SS Lower case?

I tried that site. They only sell standard Alpha cases. The lower unit case I am looking for was only produced from 1986-1989. That is why I am having such a hard time locating one. I can't find an aftermarket manufacturer who makes a case for this. If anyone has any other suggestions I would appreciate it. In case this helps the Mercruiser part number for this is : 1647-9559T5

Yes its an SS case. As far as I know 86-89 are the only years they made it. Yes thats the number off the case. I don't have the case at the moment, I'm trying one last ditch effort to get it fixed. Let me know if you come up with anything. Thanks.
