I own a 2004 Bravo 3, a 2005 Alpha One, and a Volvo with an outdrive. I am currently working on the Bravo 3, and want to buy a good alignment tool.
The local supplier here tells me that the Merc part 91-805475A1 is better than the Sierra tool- because the Merc OEM tool has a disc on it to help it align better. I have not read one word anywhere on this forum in regard to this. $127 for the Merc vs. alot cheaper on ebay and here on this site for any other tool.
Also, on ebay some are three-in-one tools. They say "alignment, grease seal tool and gimbal bearing installer" all in one.
I just want to buy the right tool, and also do not want to miss an opportunity to buy the other tools I may need down the road. But I am a total newbie here. Whats the right tool to get? I just want to order one - the best one for the job- and move on.
Thanks
