Looking at buying a boat. Its a 1984 Galaxy 18 ft bow rider with a 140 mercruser I/O alpha 1.
The boat is a one owner and looks great and solid. Garage kept from day one.
Here is the only issue. Owner said he had to have the lower gear set changed because
of the prop hitting something. So he had the lower unit serviced and repaired and rebuilt.
After getting it back neutral is not in the same location (straight up) as it was before. Now its
more forward and the engine will not turn over. He said the lower unit needs timed to get the
engine to crank over. What is he talking about. Or what does this sound like to you???
