I've got an 89 220DA with a 5.7 Alpha One/Gen I I noticed a few weeks ago that sometimes when I would accelerate over 3000rpm my alarm would sound. it would immediately stop as soon as I backed off. Thinking maybe my water pump was getting old, I replaced it this weekend. Took it back out and...

I have an old 1989 220DA, 350 Mercruiser Alpha One, Gen I. This weekend I hit something with the prop and chipped it up pretty bad. I replaced it with an identical size and pitch loaner from my neighbor. After replacement, I took it out in the river for a test. very little vibration, but when I...

I have had an ongoing problem with my throttle/shift lever. I have 1989 Alpha I/Gen I. It is a Quicksilver control box. No matter how tight I get the set screw in the bottom, the lever will not lock into place. This season in order to shift or use throttle, I must push in on the whole lever...

I've got an older Alpha 1 Gen 1 drive. I'm having a problem with the shift lever coming completely off the control. it seems this just has a friction fit on a flange in the box. is this correct? if you push on it when you move it, it's fine. or if I remember to keep making sure it's pushed on...

Last year we attended the AquaPalooza event at Conquest Beach sponsored by Clarks Landing. I noticed this year there is also an event at Hart-Miller Island sponsored by Marine Max. Is this a new event? Does anyone know any details? The Clarks Landing event was great. We know what we will be...

I have a 1989 220DA. Running 2 batteries. Mercathode unit, that I know little about. Salt Water slip 5 months a year. When I bought this boat, it had some electrolysis damage on the drive. Not real bad. After the first Summer in the water, it didnt seem to get any worse. Winter of 07 I stripped...

My Helm seat needs reupholstered. Will probably save that for after this season. I'd like to find some 3-4" wide white vinyl tape. the damage is along the upper edge of the back of the seat. It's way too much to try to repair the right way. Does anyone know where to get tape like this? I'm...

I'm having a heck of a time trying to remove the upper vent screw. I had a little elecrolysis issue last year and I guess it got to this screw. I've tried all the normal stuff. PB Blaster, Freeze Off, Bigger screw driver, Anything else I can try? I'm afraid to take a drill to it for fear of...

I've got a 1989 220da. I'm not sure what the dash is made of, but it appears to oxidize and it is a pain to clean because it is hard to get between the switches and fuses. Has anyone made a new dash out of a different material? Are there companies that sell this dash? Thanks Mark

I am trying to repair this toilet. I'm going to need the main base it looks like. I'm having trouble identifying the head so that I can try to find the parts. Here are a couple of pics. Any help is appreciated.

We went to our first Aquapalooza at Conquest Beach off the Corsica river. Clark's Landing put it together and I thought they did a great job. The food was good, the music was good and the weather was good. I tried to estimate the number of boats and I'll guess slightly over 100. The location...

I have an '89 220DA. I want to add a cleat to the bow. I can not figure out how to access the anchor rode locker. I was told to remove the mirror in the cabin. I tried everything short of breaking it to get it to budge. I pushed up, down and sideways and doesnt move at all. What am I not doing...
