Hey everybody!
I have an (85)? Regal empress 200xl W/ a 190hp (3.7l?) inline 4 .Merc. Got it from a good friend for $1000. Cant go wrong with that. I had it out ALOT Last summer and she runs AWESOME. But, come winterization/ final season inspection time I came up with a list of things needing attention.
1.) prob. the thing that has me MOST baffled, (as I cant seem to find a good shop manual) The alt. mount/tensioner cam is broke right in half. not sure how that happened. @ the break there's a bolt which locks the cam in place. While filling the outdrive with A/F and fogging the carb I noticed it was leaking coolant around that bolt?!? ANY input on this would be Greatly appreciated! anyone know a part number for the alt cam?
2) Steering seemed to be getting a little sloppy come the end of the season, Wondering how easy it is to tighten that up. I'm assuming there's slack adjusters on the push pull cables?
3)I also need a new prop or a prop job done. has a couple minor nicks. anyone know the pitch and diameter for a 190hp merc. w/ the alpha 1
4) Anodes are shot dose anyone recommend a particular brand/distributer?
Really Appreciate the help guys!! I'm a rookie when it comes to maritime mechanics.
THANKS YALL!
