I suspect the link is to a non-Merc source... This is a page from the Merc service technician's handbook....
1983 was the introduction of the 'R'.....
I looked at the link... They are SOOO wrong it's not funny. They is no such drive as a 'pre-Alpha' (I wish people would STOP using that term, it's very confusing) and the 'MR' and 'Alpha one' are different... It's very minor, but they are different... Have a look in the ADULTS ONLY thread and download the history and ID of Mercruiser drives...
Ok Don yours shows I-R for a 1983 120.So i would be ok with alpha parts?I need all new bellows and like to go get them today.I also need i new line for the lift and i should be good to go.
You need to go by the serial number of the drive, not the year of your boat. It's not unheard of for an 83 boat to have an 82 engine package in it. Boat years start on calander years, engines don't.
