Good to know they are still available. When I searched on the net, all I was coming up with was kits for the Alpha drives.
My younger son is a journeyman auto tech and he and I changed out the bellows on our newer boat with an Alpha 1 Gen 2 a couple of years ago so we know what is involved...
We have a 1995 Wellcraft with a 3.0 Mercruiser engine and an Alpha One Generation Two outdrive. Is there a kit available with all of whatever is required to change out the bellows or do we need to buy the parts separately?
I have an old 165 inline 6 and was reading some old threads that relate to the same. In one of those "acrhris" made the statement below in bold. My question is, what exactly is being referred to? Are we talking a cast part or a rubber part?

Do any of you folks have personal experience with the 292 Mercruisers? I gather they are fairly rare as they were only used for 1 or 2 years. I have heard they were hard on fuel. I had a 1968 Chevy C10 pickup with the 292 and a 2 speed powerglide transmission and it was hard on fuel. Part of...
So, how would he find a crack on the inside? Pull the pan and inspect? Where to look and what to look for? Would pressure testing the engine be sufficient to tell if there was a problem without pulling the pan etc.?
Does that look like a weld or epoxy or something? The "weld" looks pretty wide.

We are finding it difficult to pour fuel into the tank. Filling at the pump, or pouring into a funnel from a can, the boat will not take much without overflowing back out of the filler. No idea if this is common with this...
My recollection is that someone on here posted a formula for a wood finish that was part varnish and part linseed oil and maybe something else. I know I saved it but am having trouble finding it on my computer. Searching on the forum does not appear to work as all I come up with is commercial...

Anodes look a bit crusty but are still intact.
Can I clean them up and re-install? Fresh water boat seldom in the water for more than a few days at a time.

I would like to have a bracket on the back to mount an auxiliary motor. We boat on Lake of the Woods and I would like to have some means of getting home if the engine or outdrive had issues. Does...
I have very little experience with glass boats. We have generally had aluminum boats.
Do old glass boats get to the point where they are not really salvageable?
I looked at one a few nights back that has been sitting outside for a long while. The boat is almost fuzzy.
I really wondered if it...
Do the model numbers and/or serial numbers on Johnson outboard motors provide information that will identify the motor as being long shaft or short shaft? If so, where would I run the numbers to check?
