    2.00 ratio Alpha one gen 2

    Generally speaking I speak truth. How are they not "pre-alphas?" And saying iron dukes is like saying white fish isn't it? Wide field of application.... I don't know seems like guys called lots of stuff that but this engine is probably the best known. Iron dukes were ubiquitous and durable right?

    2.00 ratio Alpha one gen 2

    Okay sincerely appreciate your time and consideration folks I have the knowledge! (Btw, if you refer these engines as "iron dukes" or the drives as "pre-alphas", you're going to get somebody's panties in a bunch. Not naming names...)---lmao!!!

    2.00 ratio Alpha one gen 2

    Okay ya makes sense. Sorry here's the abbreviated story; I'm repowering an old 63' Bertram 25 moppie mainly to replace the nasty old transom assemblies (no trim gauge sender, scary hinge pins not to mention the sketchy gimble rings) with original iron dukes(2.5l?) and preprealphas with 3.0l...

    2.00 ratio Alpha one gen 2

    Thanks for the info. Okay after much digestion I see what your saying. Is there any way to determine gear set in a gearcase without pulling it apart? Probably with a dial of some sort and beyond my ability.... And if I'm understanding properly, there should be no problem taking all of the guts...

    2.00 ratio Alpha one gen 2

    Couple of questions; Generally, what is the whole point of 2.00 ratio? Efficiency? Engine wear? What's it's deal? Why would you put it on a 3.0l instead of the 1.94? The talking specifically about the gearcase what is the difference between the 2.00 ratio and the rest of the gearcases? Just...

    Alpha One Gen 2 Gear ratio
