    lower unit

    Well I removed the alpha 1 gen 2 lower unit to replace the water pump. When I separated the lower half, three small triangular plates fell to the ground along with a piece of rubber (looks to been part of a seal). Any idea on the three plates?

    Hi again all, Can anyone tell me the difference between a 1992 230 and 240 sundancer? I'm assuming the first two numbers designate length, but what about layout, amenities and such? Thanks
