sterndrive

How's this thing work (compared to a familiar big outboard)? First time starting my first 2003 sterndrive in a tub last week. New impeller, oil and filters. Gauges said it worked fine but it is different and advice will be appreciated. 5.0 L MPI, OM600590, Seawater cooled; Manual, Single Point...

I need to find a used ALPHA ONE GEN II , COUNTER ROTATION , RATIO 1.84 sterndrive for my Sea Ray. Does anyone have any idea where to get one, except just going through all the parts dealers on the internet? The dealers don't seem to post them on ebay, is there some other portal? Europe...

If I have my Alpha I sterndrive all the way down, and I hold the UP button, it raises the outdrive until it hits the designed height for that setting, then it stops rising automatically and the pump shuts off. (Assuming my trim sensor is set to specs). Good. If I then hold the DOWN button the...

Hi All, Well it was never a question of if, but when and my when was today. Thanks to a GPS that was off by about twenty yards and a negative tide I ran aground on some rocks in the Puget Sound this morning. Thankfully I didn't mess up my hull but I did mangle my prop and skeg on my...

I removed one of my Alpha I Gen II stern drive units this past weekend and unbolted the two halves to replace the water pump. I had some corrosion issues bubbling up the paint and got it all scraped and sanded back to nice aluminum. I noticed that at the junction between the two halves...

My sterndrive units were in the trailer position for some time. Today we went to take the boat out and I can not get the port sterndrive unit to travel downward. The starboard unit works fine. When I move the port trim switch down, I can hear the trim pump running as it does when it's...

I repowered my '94 290 Sundancer in 2005 from the original 454 to a Mercruiser Mag Bravo 496 (8.1L). Now I need a complete new outdrive and transom assembly also. I am not sure what the ratio of the original drive was and if it was the propper ratio for the replacement engine. I certainly want...

Does anyone know if there is a sending unit to send the outdrive angle to the rudder angle indicator on the SmartCraft system? I hate to admit I lose (forget) my steering angle OFTEN when trying to dock. Thanks, Jason

I have a 2004 Sea Ray 240 Sundancer with an intermittent alarm. The intermittent alarm sounds when I turn on the engine and will continue to sound until I either turn off the engine or if I leave the engine run for a few minutes it may also quit, but not necessarily. The rest of my smartcraft...
