    Gimbal bearing.

    Another example...how about those disposable John Deer and Cub Cadets Home Depot sells? Go with a bearing you can grease. Anything else is designed to be a wear item

    I Just Bought My First Boat. 1997 Sea Ray 175 3.0LX A1 G2. WHERE TO START PLEASE HELP!!

    Understood. However, from my viewpoint it seemed way to early and way too dramatic for any reason to go the way it did. ANYHOW... I can see it's a futile argument so we can agree to disagree on it. OP, You might want to check the exhaust pipe base for rot. The 3 things I've seen the most on...

    I Just Bought My First Boat. 1997 Sea Ray 175 3.0LX A1 G2. WHERE TO START PLEASE HELP!!

    The transom probably isn't the leak. Help the guy out with some real advice without going to the extremes is all I'm getting at.

    I Just Bought My First Boat. 1997 Sea Ray 175 3.0LX A1 G2. WHERE TO START PLEASE HELP!!

    I'm not chastising anyone. It just appears the thread took a turn to the extreme without any real data being presented first.

    I Just Bought My First Boat. 1997 Sea Ray 175 3.0LX A1 G2. WHERE TO START PLEASE HELP!!

    Reading this I'm trying to understand why everyone is saying the transom is rotted when you found a tear in the shift cable boot. Pull the drive and inspect the rubbers and see if there's any other leaks. I think just saying the transom is bad is jumping to conclusions way too quickly.

    Alpha one manual

    I really don't know if he does or doesn't. All I know is it's available,the guy needs it and it can be obtained on Ebay. I believe it's Ebays problem to police the legal rights to sell it or not.

    Alpha one manual

    Indeed they are. Why would I tell OP that if they were something else? He specified that he wanted the #6 service manual. He can find it in .pdf form on Ebay for around $5

    Alpha one manual

    I'm sure your mistaken. I believe he has rights to sell it. Its been up for some time now. Regardless, its cheap and gives you the information you need.

    Water inside Mercruiser gimbal housing

    i believe he was just asking a few questions. Although he's clearly not fully understanding the problem he is having, it's not your call to pass judgment. if you feel its a waste of your time, just ignore the topic.

    Mercruiser 3.7 (470) wont turn all the way

    Back up what? The 2 motors I have work well, burn little fuel and haven't given me a bit of trouble. Pal, I don't know what you're issue is but I just don't have issues with these motors that some of you seem to have.

    Mercathode transom mount 42600A18 on twin I/O systems

    No harm, no foul. I appreciate the concern. I gotta tell you though, it's quite annoying when your only looking for a simple thing and get called out for not following instructions especially when you weren't looking for any. Just to clear this thread up. I have an issue, had it for years...

    Mercathode transom mount 42600A18 on twin I/O systems

    One drive shows some corrosion. One doesn't. I'm a Power Electronics guy so no, I don't know the field of corrosion operates in saltwater. I'd stop with the snide comments. Noody likes a smarty pants. If all you people seem to forgotten, I ASKED FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS ONLY. Nowhere in this...

    Mercathode transom mount 42600A18 on twin I/O systems

    Right now on my boat Theres 2 pucks, one in the center of the transom and one starboard. The field crosses between the two. It. There's no way it can cross the port drive because therse no puck on the port side. The part number posted comes with 3 pucks. I believe one is installed on the center...

    470 Risers. Where can I find new ones?

    Update, Parts from Chris's link showed up about an hour ago. They came with new hardware and gaskets. The quality seems to be acceptable but the packaging was horrible. They somehow made it in one piece without damage. I'd deem them acceptable to purchase manifolds from forthose in the market...

    I should explain that I'm an EE. I understand how to troubleshoot circuits. I'm not looking for advice on troubleshooting. I'm looking for the instructions for the 42600A18 MERCATHODE KIT The drive with corrosion issues is unprotected. The drive that has the cathode/anode crossing over it is...

    Mercathode transom mount 42600A18 on twin I/O systems

    I'm not looking to troubleshoot the system. My question is if anyone has the instructions for the part number I posted. Actually, I should have been clearer in my message. I need the mercathode protection for BOTH of my I/O drives. It appears to me that the original transom mount mercathode is...

    Mercathode transom mount 42600A18 on twin I/O systems

    I'm stumped here. I have some issues with corrosion on one of my drives and believe it's because someone installed the transom mercathode incorrectly. Does anyone have installation instructions for P/N 42600A18 I believe this part number is for twin i/o setups but I'm unsure because I just...

    470 Risers. Where can I find new ones?

    It's a sad thing having to buy parts for an American engine from China because the American consumers do not support commodities made in America. They'd rather save a penny instead. I'd pay extra if I could actually find American made parts. Oh well..
