    Swapping upper unit ring and pinion gears.

    Bought and mounted a really good condition 1981 MC-1 to replace my 1969 MC-1 that broke its lower drive shaft. Turns out the new MC-1 is either for a 6 cylinder or 3.7 4 cylinder, wrong ratio. Limped through last summer with a 14P prop. vs my stock 19P. Can I swap out the ring and pinion from...

    How many pounds of aluminum in a 18' Holiday?

    I can pick up a basket case 18' Starcraft Holiday with good outdrive and ugly trailer for $200. I know I am going to catch heat for this, but it really is a basket case. Left out in the weather for several years, frozen busted engine block and no title plus last registered in a different state...

    Need Mercruiser replacement prop 48-47706-a1-23 b

    Looking for replacement prop for my Mercruiser III. The #'s on the existing prop are 48-47706-A1-23 b. Out of curiousity, what are the specs on this prop? Does the 23 on the end mean 23 pitch? FYI, odd prop, very large, 20" I think. 1969 model if that helps.

    Newer Mercruiser, now which thrust washer?

    I went from a 1969 Mercruiser to a newfangled 1981 Mercruiser. Now my old thrust washer don't fit right. The newer one has a tapered shaft. The pics show the prop that I am trying to put on the newer shaft. The prop part # is 48-93272-a4. Do I need the standard Mercruiser / 75+ hp outboard...

    Quick question- Replace 1969 MC-1 with 1981 Alpha?

    I broke the lower driveshaft on my 1969 MC-1 120. Found a good deal on a 1981 Alpha 120. I am 99% sure this will bolt in place without replacing my transom ring. Am I correct? What about the driveshafts, the same? I am hoping to check my alignment, replace impeller, bolt in on, change the oil...

    Can SEI SE106 replace MC-1?

    Can I use an SEI SE106 complete unit to replace my 1969 MC-1? Will I need to reuse my MC-1 drive shaft? I thought I read somewhere on here that if you wanted to replace an MC-1 upper unit with an Alpha 1 generation 1 upper unit that you have to use the MC-1 driveshaft. I figured that should...

    Need help identifying Mercruiser

    I found a great trade on a spare engine and outdrive from a junk hull on Craigslist. Even if the engine is junk, the outdrive parts alone are worth it. When the guy sent me the pics, I noticed that the Intake / Exhaust manifold is different from mine. He says the hull is a 1968 Mark Twain with...
