    Engine made a "click click" sound when trying to start

    I was out a week ago and my 1988 Thundercraft Regency 120HP Mercruiser Alpha One was running great. We stopped at a few fishing spots and I started the motor about 5 times to avoid drifting into an island. Then when trying to start it for the 6th time, the motor didn't even try to turn over - it...

    Anyone going to the Thousand Islands?

    I just came back from a weekend trip to the Thousand Islands on the St. Lawrence river. What a great time! Beautiful weather, great fishing, and plenty of shoals that will tear your lower unit off faster than you can blink! I'll be heading up to the Thousand Islands again in July and then once...

When the throttle is 10% forward, the boat runs good. When I slowly push the throttle 20 - 30% forward, the boat begins to die and eventually...

    Mercruiser started right up but belt squeeking

    I finally got a chance to pull my 1988 Thundercraft Regency (Alpha One B869837 - MCM 2.5 Litre) out of storage and got it ready for the season. Everything started up great and is running smooth (thanks to all that explained winterization perfectly). The only "problem" is that the front belt...

    2003 Trailblazer Trailer hitch not tight?

    I have a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer that I have been towing my boat with for the last year. It runs great and tows my 16' boat no problem, but it seems the trailer hitch isn't as tight as it should be. When hitting bumps, I can hear the trailer hitch rocking and hitting the square frame. Does...

    Where are petcock drains on Alpha One 120 HP?

    I recently winterized my alpha one 120 HP motor, and I opened two petcocks on the Port side to drain all the anti-freeze out. I been reading that there might be a petcock on the other side that I missed? If I did miss a petcock on the other side of my block, did I still drain most of the water...

    Is this a correct replacement prop? PICS

    Hello All, I just bought a 1988 Thundercraft Regency boat a few weeks ago and I got a chance to take it out over the weekend. It was a great time, and everything ran great, but unfortunately I made some newbie mistakes and damaged my prop. Luckily, I received two extra props (one brand new)...

    Towing 17 ft w/ a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

    I plan on towing my 17' 1989 Glastron Conroy with a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It has a 195-hp, 4.0-liter I-6. Will this vehicle have any trouble towing my boat? I want to make sure before I purchase the vehicle.
