    Windshield Support Rods...

    The boat is a 99 1800 LSR and I don't have much history on it. The problem is that center glass overlaps the starboard windshield at the top(fits nice and flush at the bottom) and I've found that if I remove the screws that hold the rod to the serrated plate and allow for about a 3/16" gap then...

    This is a 99 vintage Alpha 1, Gen 2 drive... I somehow got water in my trim system so now I've resealed the trim cylinders, blew out the hoses, removed the trim motor/pump assy to remove and clean out the reservoir, screens and pump assy.

    Speedometer Not Working

    This boat is I believe a 99, regardless its an Alpha 1, Gen 2 drive. I've just replaced the bellows and water supply hose and was about to hook up the speedometer hose and figured I'd blow into it to make sure the speedometer moved, it didn't. Then I disconnected the tube to it under the dash...

    98 4.3 Mercruiser Engine Removal Advice

    The boat is a 99, the engine I believe is a 98. The engine stamp pad shows T06109LJ and it has what I believe is a Alpha 1 Gen 2 outdrive. I have a Mercury Service Manual that came with the boat and it's dated 99 so I assume it's current for this boat. My question is, is it as straight forward...

    2004 Volvo Penta SX-M1 Outdrive Cracked Bellows.

    Sorry if this is a noob question and I apologize if my terminology is off. The bellows that keeps water away from the CV joint and gimble bearing cracked and allowed water in sometime this summer. I noticed this while winterizing it yesterday. White sludge was coming out of the tear from the...
