    2.5L Mercruiser Rubber Beveled Seal/Guide found in Oil Pan

    Almost looks to be from that grommet on the valve cover. Could have broken off but I don't know how it could have worked its way to the pan.

    Marine Flywheel compared to an auto flywheel

    Hose pic and power tune. Get the pic in there and give it a shot of power tune in a couple spots. Easy at that point.

    Gimbal Bearing Stiff

    I think your cold sticky grease is making it hard to turn if the bearing was installed correctly. You can get some of the grease out from behind the bearing by wiping some out with a finger.

    What Lube to Pull (or Push) Fuel Fill Line through ABS Pipe?

    You could use a electrician lube that they use for pulling wires through pipe, or just get a spray can of Quicksilver power tune.

    "Think we're gonna need a bigger boat"

    If it has an aft cabin, one of that size I don't like so much. We have a couple at the marina, hard to enter the boat and docking is a little tough single handed. When out on open water it's fine but not for me.

    Mixture adjustment screw non tamper cover

    Yes, the cap has to come off. I have that tool Scott6 shows, but I got mine from napa, and it has other tips that fit different applications.

    Seen that before. I can't remember how I got it off, but it was a bugger.

    Carburetor Fuel Filter

    I might be able to measure one tomorrow at work, I’ll try to make time to check. Regardless, it’s not a mercruiser specific part. Most any parts store should be able to set you up. Just bring them the serial number on the carb body.

    Alpha 1 Gen 2 lower end oil

    When I fill them, I have the top plug out of the drive and fill till it comes out there. Then I install the plug and finish filling from the bottom up to the full line on the bottle at the motor with the cap loose.

    Alpha 1 Gen 2 lower end oil

    Yes, that is a quad washer. The only thing different is they don't have that kink in them! I have a friend who installed his wrong also, he ran it for two years, topping off the oil before each trip, as it leaked a bit from the quad ring. Ended up blowing the upper unit.

    Alpha one gen 1 questions

    Yeah, replace the entire drive. Also, it's normal to have small dusty shavings, as long as they are sort of like dust on the magnet. After running a new drive through breaking it in, you will see a bit more that may scare you but it's normal.
