    Mercruiser shift interrupter switch

    I’m sorry to sound ignorant but I was just given this boat and don’t know a whole lot about boats. I was told that this switch was the problem with the shifting of the boat. I really appreciate your input but I really don’t understand what you’re saying. Will the new switch work? I’m sure I can...

    Mercruiser shift interrupter switch

    I am replacing my shift interrrupter switch on my 1987 Seaswirl tempo. They do not make this part anymore but I have noticed that they have a new version that is supposed to replace the oem switch. Does anyone know if this new version works?

    Alpha one gen one installing lower out drive

    Thank you… I tried putting the plastic tube on the top along with the copper and it sliced through part of the plastic tube. It’s not crushed or anything but has a slice in it about an inch long. Do I need to replace the plastic tube?

    Alpha one gen one installing lower out drive

    Unfortunately I think it popped out of gear because the prop would spin freely in both directions. However I did manage to get the copper gear tube back over the thing that it goes over (If that makes any sense) and now I feel resistance from the prop CW but not CCW. Would this be right or am I...

    Alpha one gen one installing lower out drive

    Yes, I have it in gear and all the way forward. I do have a helper. No i haven’t tried turning the prop, thank you for the suggestion, I will definitely try it. One question, the copper tube that the white plastic tube goes over, should it be on the lower end unit or the top unit? My friend...

    Alpha one gen one installing lower out drive

    I replaced my impeller and have been trying to re-install the lower unit. I have tried using ratchet straps and a floor jack because I am too old and not strong enough to hold it up and try to install it. I have watched countless videos on YouTube and that’s how some people have done it. I got...
