Re: mercruiser sterndrive identification

You have a Mercruiser '1' drive (known as an 'MC-1', or just '#1').... Some stupid people who haven't a clue what they are talking about will tell you it's a 'pre-alpha'. The answer is yes, it's before the Alpha One drive, but 15 other drives also fit that description.

To find the right parts, you'll also need to know if you have an external flushing attachment hole in the gear housing. Once you know that, look here for parts you need -> Mercruiser Water Pump Repair Kits - iboats
