    Manifold exhaust pipe leak

    Hello- I have a Mercruiser 260 V8 5.7L 350, 1987 SN 0B652010.

    Alpha One sterndive install question

    I watched a very informative video on the sterndrive install process on Youtube. At just about the final step in the process, the outdrive wouldn't slide quite all the way in. He rotated the prop CCW slightly and it popped right in fully. Great! Only question is: If you align the shift shaft...

    I have taken my outdrive off and need to start the boat. How can I accomplish this? I am not sure what to hook up the garden hose up to.

    Re: Alpha One Bellows/U Joint questions Thanks for all of the great advice everyone. Really appreciated. I will replace the oil bearing seal, which will stop the gear lube from entering the bellows, and add the water passage O ring, replace the bellows and the small bellows boot. Considering...

    Alpha One Bellows/U Joint questions

    Re: Alpha One Bellows/U Joint questions Update... After putting the 2-4-C in the zerks on the ujoint and wiggling it around a bit more, it now has full, easy rotation. I just don't know if the temporary "seize" has caused damage or what. Acts like normal now, with no visible damage. Gimbel...

    Alpha One Bellows/U Joint questions

    My '87 Alpha One (0B665929) that I got last year had a slow-medium leak into the bilge last year and I removed the outdrive last fall. Slightly oily bellows. Small "accordion" boot on right side looks fine, no signs of trouble. The water passage O ring was not there, however when I removed the...
