    Shift shaft slop?

    1987 3.0 Alpha one. Is this normal for the shift shaft to have this much play in the bushing? Thanks

    How many shift shaft rubber washers?

    1987 Alpha One stern drive, I'm in the middle of replacing the seals in my stern drive. I noticed when I took off the old stuff for the shift shaft there were 2 rubber washers under the shift shaft washer. Is there suppose to be only one washer or do I need to use the rubber washers to make up...

    Water Pump Impeller (Missing Parts???)

    Re: Water Pump Impeller (Missing Parts???) I would think its more like a rolled pin, maybe it's solid. The pics will show what I'm talking about. Sorry for the confusion.

    trailer set up, would like a second set of eyes

    I bought a 86 Regal 185 with a shoreline trailer. I've gone through and read the last 30 pages or so of posts to get a idea of what to do. I know in my mind that everything is covered but as my wife likes to remind me "Your not Mr. perfect shouldn't you have someone else look at it...
