1990 5.7 that will be completely dead at the key one time and if you release and try again will turn over the next time. I have replaced the starter,altenator,battery cables, and key switch all over the last 12-18months. It has never not started but several times has taken 3 or 4 trys before it...
1990 alpha 1. Have an impeller that wont come off the shaft. The Impeller was really wasted, and the housing got so hot it actually bubbled up the plastic on the outside. I have read some info that says in extreme cases you have to split the old impeller with a chisel. I dont want to bang...
I have replaced the floor in my cuddy and I am replacing my table and mount. The old mount was flush but the 21/4" hole required cutting a hole in the floor and the table post sat down in there about 2" deep. I have found a flush mount that screws on top of the floor and you put the table post...
I have a 23'cuddy that has a black vinyl material that is glued to the top part of my dash to keep the glare down on the windshield. It is cracking and coming up, is there anything else I could put down to replace it, does anyone know where I can find some? Do they make anything you can paint...
90 alpha1 w/5.7L. My exhaust bellows is not attached, it appears to be more like a tube that slides over when the outdrive is lowered. When the outdrive is all the way up (Trailer) it is not touching the outdrive at all. Is this ok?
1990 Merc Alpha1. Should my lower unit create enough suction out of the water to suck up antifreeze using just the muffs connected to a hose (with no pressure from water hose). A sales guy tried to sell me this Winterizing kit that you hook to the muffs, and its suppose to suck it right up. I...
I have a 1990 Alpha1. When dropping the lower unit several post mention putting the boat in forward gear before you drop it. My manual does not mention this before you drop it, but does mention it before you re install. So whats the secret. after the outdrive is off is there anything you need to...
Will a high dollar cover really keep your boat dry from the winter and rain? Sunbrella or Hurrican or what....? I am in Dallas so I dont get any snow just the rain. I was thinking of the King Canopy option, but my city wont allow it. So whats my next best option of keeping my New seats dry over...
1990 Alpha1 w/Trim button on Quick silver throttle handle. Last trip out started to work off and on. This trip everythng was dead. No clicking no nothing. Pump was replaced last year. On the boat ramp I tried to go around the "up/down" switch by cutting it off. Didnt have any luck so I broke out...
