    Sterndrive

    I did and it looks fine. Just a lot of grease, But the ridge looks OK. I even did the grease test with the aligment tool and the lines looks ok.

    Sterndrive

    I feel so damn stupid, I hit it like even after the solid sound when it stops. I put my finger between the gimbal and the mount and felt a gap and continue hammering away thinking that I needed to close the gap. My brother in law is going to help me to see if it is a motor aligment as last...

    Sterndrive

    Took the yoke out and did not enter the coupler. So I guess I messed up the coupler installing the gimbal. Any idea of how to change the coupler without removing the engine? If not how much would that work be to be done by a mechanic?

    Sterndrive

    Thanks, I just measure the space that is not going in that's 2.5 inches, therefore I think the spline is going in, bit is stopping. Midway. As the spline is about 3 inches long

    Sterndrive

    I think that's the I think that's what happened. That is the only explanation for the problem. I have checked and recheck the work many times over. How difficult is to change the coupler? Is it something that ca. Be done with the motor in the boat. I don't have the tools take a motor out or...

    Also, can I lot of grase in the spline could cause the drive not to go in?

    Sterndrive

    I put the sterndrive as one piece after unsuccessfully trying to install the upper half. I did build the stand with a dolly in the ground and try it as my last attempt( I copy the stand from utube). And it was impossible to insert the drive. The shift cable is aligned and the drive stop short of...

    I have this idea, if I used bolt coupling to elongate the bolt and push the sterndrive into position with the nuts. What you think about that idea?

    Sterndrive

    Again, I divided the stern drive to manage the upper part better, the same problem is the last tow inches. I used a rubber hammer to try to force it in but the stern spring back, I really do not know what else to do, what is the worst case scenario here? I even try to aligned the motor nothing works

    Sterndrive

    I just broke the gasket. Trying to install again. I am going to get another one (45 mins drive). I used all the techniques that you guys gave me. And I was not able to install. Quick question, can I dismount the lower part of the sterndrive and just try the upper part as I think it will be...

    I have a crownline 1997 with a 5.7 mercruiser and an Alpha one gen 2 sterndrive. I was having vibration when I would turn left and right on low Rev. I took the stern off to check the gimbal and the ujoint both were almost new. No water leak. I took the gimbal out to inspect and it was good...
