    Mounting a gen 1 alpha to a gen 2 housing.

    I'm in a real pinch. I have a boat that needs to be in the water by the weekend. The drive is trashed and I have no alpha one gen 2 drives available. Engine is a 4.3L. I have a beautiful rebuilt gen 1 drive for a 4.3. What would I need to change on the gimbal housing to make this work? Looks...

    Using old mercruiser 140 engine in boat that had 3.0L with alpha one gen 2

    True enough. Ive got a line on a direct drop in 3.0L, I don't mind spending a bit of money going to sell this boat anyway. Will sell the 140 separately then. Might be easier than trying to find parts to make the conversion

    Great thank you, I'm willing to swap everything, just was told on a few other places the new flywheel and coupler will not bolt onto the old engine. Different rear main seal 1 vs 2 pieces. I just didn't understand how that would effect how the flywheel attaches. I'll rip them both apart and...

    Using old mercruiser 140 engine in boat that had 3.0L with alpha one gen 2

    Hello, a local marina closed last summer and was selling things very cheap. I picked up a 2003 Bayliner with a 3.0L mercruiser alpha 1 gen 2 drive. The engine had not been winterized properly and had a cracked block. They sold with it an older mercruiser 140. The whole package with trailer was...
