    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    Went to the boat last night. Right away I could see the plunger was a good bit off center to the V notch. Per manual 14 I verified the lower cable was at the bottom of the slot. Measured the travel of the upper cable per Chris’s video. Measured 3 1/8”, i.e. within specifications. Removed the new...

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    Thanks Chris. I came across that also. I'm planning on getting to the boat tomorrow to look into it.

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    The boat is an hour and half from the house in dry storage so not sure when I'll be able to get back. I'll follow the procedure in the manual and post back. Thanks to everyone

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    No. The only thing I can think of is, I did some work on my controller over the winter while the shift plate was removed that involved moving the shifter. It may be possible operating it like this pushed something out of kilter

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    Am I correct that the adjustable stud it refers to in 11. a. on page 17 is the forward most stud on the lower shift cable?

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    Point taken. Thanks to all. Any idea how to adjust out this issue?

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    I'll do that next time I get back to the back. I could hear a click then it would pop outta gear

    Ha not well at the moment.

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    Surely simply removing the shift plate from the elbow and installing a new switch and re-attaching wouldn't cause one to have to go through the entire set up procedure again. Maybe I'll put my old switch back on and see what happens.

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    No. Just hoping to avoid future problems.

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    All I did was remove old switch and put a new in. I didn't try manually depressing it but it seemed to be killing the engine.

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    2002 Alpha gen 2, 5.0 MPI serial 0M345638. In the spirit of preventive maintenance I replaced my 20 year old 1500 hour shift interrupt switch. I removed the shift plate to reach the small nuts on the back of the switch and put everything back together. Now it won’t come out of forward for...

    Keeping boat interior (carpeting / fabric) "nice"

    This is my 20th season with my boat. It still has the original non-removable carpet. I keep and can of spray foam carpet cleaner, scrub brush and rag on board and spot clean as needed. No better place to clean than when you're out on the water (fresh water that is). It still looks decent...

    A1g2 reseal question

    I had that seal and yoke replaced at 1250 hours. Now at 1506 still cranking with no oil in bellows.

    UFP Trailer Buddy retaining ring

    Finally got back to the boat. I had surgery then covid so behind on off season projects. I did as dingbat suggested, removed the snap ring and replaced the zerk. Getting it back in was a bit of a PITA. The trick I used was a hack saw blade. Worked great to pry the ring into place because...

    Bow Trolley on Trailer instead of Winch, stock

    So the trolley has to run on non-carpeted rails. So when the boat is out of the water is it resting on the metal rails? Hard tell the geometry from the pics. You said it was a trihull.

    Bow Trolley on Trailer instead of Winch, stock

    I've been around boat ramps for 50 years. I have never seen that.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Nice boat QBhoy. I does look like a fast hull given it's size. I intend to make the jump to outboard in the future. But I apologize. I'm off topic. Back to Alldodge.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    What about Stingray's new flagship? I know it's touch smaller than you're looking though.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    If I had your money, and considering you want a hardtop, why not think outside the normal "Lake Cumberland" box? For example Cutwater, Jeanneau, Aspen Catamaran.
