87' 3.0L Alpha one drive
Hello all, I am new here. seems like lots of great info and helpful people here so here goes!
I bought my tri toon in 08'. The PO had just had the drive gone through and had the boat serviced by a merc repair shop. They replaced the water pump / impeller in the drive at this time. I have maybe put 20 hours on the boat since i have owned it. It has never given me any problems at all, but i am curious how often i should replace the impeller.
Also, what else beside the usual oil changes and drive oil changes should i be looking for? I have read lots on here about the exhaust manifolds on the 3.0L cracking and now im worried! haha.
My boat is sometimes difficult to get into nuetral, sometimes it dies. I need to re read the thread on how the shift linkage works and check out my shift cable!
thanks in advance!
