    Tilt/trim wire replacement

    I have an 84 Mercruiser 228 with an alpha 1 outdrive and the wires for the tilt/trim sensor wires are bare and/or corroded at the outdrive.

    Questions about repalcing trim limit and trim sender wires on alpha I

    Mark Twain Boats

    Anyone have experience with mid 80's Mark Twain boats. Thinking of moving up from my '72 15' Ebko tri w/105 Chrysler as I have my eye on a 20' Mark Twain vsonic w/228 and mercruiser. It needs a little TLC but I think it'll clean up real nice. Any experience shared good, bad, and what to pay...
