    "Clattering" When Shifting Into Gear

    Gentlemen, Used to be she would go right in to forward as soon as I came out of neutral - now need to push control so far forward (to avoid the clattering) that the boat roars off at too much rpm. It's a '97 Stingray 3.0LX w/ MCM A1G2. Doesn't do it when going to reverse. Is this just a...

    Charging Dead Battery

    Hello, So, I tried to help a buddy with a dead battery. Smart charger would not come on until battery cables disconnected. Does this make sense? What would cause this? I remember back in the contact breaker points era we always disconnected one lead to avoid burning the points. This engine does...

    Draft of SternDrive

    I have a 19' StingRay BowRider with 3.0LX and Alpha One/ GenTwo leg. What does this draft? And are sterndrives typically sitting lower in the water than, say, an outboard? Is the difference a lot? Thanks...

    Where Can I Get These?

    I'm talking about these grey, plastic trim rings by the stern. They're on the ends of the air vent ducts from the engine bay. They're flaking off to the touch and I would like to replace them - checked several of the usual vendors (Attwood, *********, etc,) to no avail. Any help greatly...

    Adding Tilt/Trim Switch

    Everything I read is for outboards. I'd like to add a switch somewhere accessible by the stern after the cover is all snapped down on the boat. Is there a kit for this designed for a sterndrive? Or, do I have to buy a rocker switch/wire separately and just mount it wherever?

    Oil Change

    1997 3.0LX I know, I know, what a NOOB! But I've only had this boat for a couple of months. But if I want to change oil myself, do I just allow it to drain into the bilge and then collect it from the outside at the drain plug? Seems kinda messy. Or is it vacuumed out of the dipstick...

    Gents, I'd like to get cap, rotor, & plug wires for 1997 3.0 LX with EST ignition. Everything I check over on the parts side only goes for the 1990-1995 models. What happened in 1995 to cause the change? And where can I obtain a tune-up kit? Thanks...

    Skeg Guard?

    Soooo, there's only one reason to have installed one of these right? To hide damage? And the screws are those one-way type - you can't back them out with a regular screw driver...

    Auto Choke Last Word

    So my curiosity was really piqued with this discussion. And now I know "the rest of the story". Thanks for helping! FWIW, and I know it really helped me? I couldn't, for the life of me, figure this out - but know now that it's really very logical, like all things mechanical, eh? 12VDC...

    '97 WesCo Trailer Axle

    Gentleman, I have to replace the axle under this trailer as the one hub has the nut welded to the spindle! Are leaf-springs set-ups such as this, i.e., with a bolt attachment at one end and the straight end of a leaf through a clamp at the other end still available? Thanks in advance...

    Replacing Trailer Axle

    Please forgive the noob questions. But I need to replace the trailer's axle. Right side hub has nut welded in place and the other requires a lock tab spindle washer which I got wrong size (1") for so it's currently Loc-Tited in place. Replacements seem to be listed by weight rating. So do...

    14 1/2 x 19

    What's wrong with this photo? Prop is for a Mercruiser 120 I/L 4 1R sterndrive. Thrust washer is on the drive-shaft and I have the nut. Seems fairly obvious that a couple things may be missing here. I realize I'll have to have the prop itself reconditioned, but can I order whatever it is...

    120 I/L 4 / Sterndrive ID Questions

    Gentlemen, Have a possible reclamation project that I'm trying to identify for parts ordering, etc. Appears to be 1983 vintage based on the hull number, but numbers missing from the out-drive. So, is this an Alpha One? Also, on the engine (6669253), I'm trying to figure out which exhaust...
