I have a defective upper and lower unit 1969 Mercruiser pre-ALPHA. After checking the price on iboats I'm at the point where I finally saved the money to get my complete unit replaced. Then I did research before ordering my unit. I found out that the only difference between the 2 is the angle in the gears in the lower unit and something about the water pump. Is this true? or was I given bad info? I'm ready to make my purchase and honestly I would rather upgrade to a alpha which I was told is much stronger than a pre-alpha. If anyone knows the truth it would be a great help. Like I said I would love to get a better unit but only if it will bolt up to my gimbal. Also if it will bolt up, what's the deal with the water pump?<br />Thanks for your time.
