On my 86 searay i noticed that my gimble ring has some play in the upper pin. I have 1991 boat with a 4 cylinder engine that i'm getting ready to scrape the outer transom plate,gimble ring and bellhousing are in great shape. Can i use those parts on the 86 with a v8 engine and still be able to mount my older style alpha 1 drive to it?

Yes, provided that the '91 is a gen 1 set up.....
That is the changeover year from gen 1 to Gen 2.....:)

I know the shift cable from the 91 is different and the 91 has a pilot whole for the speedo
