    U-Joints for 2003 Alpha One Gen 2

    after starting this thread and achris fixed the link to the u-joint sticky which dates to 2008, I noticed that the links within the u-joint sticky weren't working. It seemed that the links may have provided aftermarket marine u-joint alternatives to the OEM parts, and possibly automotive...

    U-Joints for 2003 Alpha One Gen 2

    Thanks for the input. I'm curious if you happened to compare inside of the caps on the spicer and moog u-joints for any obvious differences, such as races or anything else.

    U-Joints for 2003 Alpha One Gen 2

    I've done a lot of "research" on this topic that leads me to believe that you should be able to use the same u-joint a the 94 or 95 drives. I'm writing up a summary and will post it shortly.

    U-Joints for 2003 Alpha One Gen 2

    Update: Took my boat out yesterday and listened closely during various speeds and turns, and it didn't seem to be louder than usual. yesterday it was just my wife and I, while last Saturday when I thought it was louder than usual, the boat was near capacity and we also towed a large tube at...

    U-Joints for 2003 Alpha One Gen 2

    Thanks Scott. I've spent a LOT of time over the last couple of evenings doing online "research" on this for Aplha One Gen 2 drives, looking at cross references provided by various part suppliers and also usage of Moog parts by individuals as noted in user comments here and at amazon. I have...

    U-Joints for 2003 Alpha One Gen 2

    Thanks Rick and Kubaat3lover for your responses. My boat seemed louder than usual this past Saturday. When we got back to the slip and everyone got out, I started it back up, opened the engine cover and I tried listening closely to see what noises I could here. There seemed to be a somewhat...

    U-Joints for 2003 Alpha One Gen 2

    I guess my bottom line question is, has anyone with an Alpha One Gen 2 drive with a serial number of 0M400411 and above successfully used and after market u-joint, and know what it was?

    U-Joints for 2003 Alpha One Gen 2

    Thank you Chris for the quick response. Unfortunately none of the links within the u-joint thread work. And although the 4th post in that thread lists several u-joints by make and number, I don't know what they are intended to be cross referenced to. I appreciate your help though.

    U-Joints for 2003 Alpha One Gen 2

    2003 Alpha One Gen 2, serial number 0M486176 I'm wondering if one of you with much more knowledge and experience than I have can help me out. I have always used OEM parts for repairs and maintenance but I may have reached the limit. Looking up the part number for the u-joints at several...

    First, I'm certainly not trying to hijack this thread. more so I'm trying to understand why you asked the question regarding use of regular or high octane gas. We have a car that recommends no less than 91 octane, my understanding is because it has a twin turbo. I always buy premium and it...

    Is this an OEM Carb Kit?

    Update: I made an inquiry to both the online vendor and to Mercury Marine, both using their "contact us" form on their websites, and described most of the same which I described in my first post. I got two responses from the vendor, very quickly and within a minute of each other. The first...
