    How critical is the gear lube hose clamp on bell housing side?

    So I just reinstalled the ujoint bellows, both ends, and realized I forgot to put any kind of a clamp on the gear lube hose at the bell housing. How critical is that clamp? There was some plastic finger squeeze clamp on there before, not sure it was really doing anything, it's super tight...

    Outdrive storage position if using mobile shrink wrap and trailering after?

    So I've read it's better to store the outdrive in down position during winter storage months. I'm having my boat shrink wrapped tomorrow on my driveway and after I'm taking it to storage location. I won't be able to adjust the trim after it's wrapped so whatever its set to on my driveway will...

    Alpha 1 Gen II bell housing lube hose install?

    OK this is a total pain, I'm in the middle of re-assembly after bearing and bellows change. I went with the route of installing the u-joint bellow on the bell housing first since some people said it makes things a bit easier. I got the water hose hooked up and clamped, now the gear lube hose...

    Applying bellows adhesive when it's cold

    I'm doing bellows/bearing on my alpha 1 and it's getting cold up here, around 50F, I see the bellows adhesive says to use when it's 68F or higher, it won't be that warm for the next 6 months. Any issues using it when it's colder? Thanks

    2000 Rinker Captiva water under floor locker floor itself

    I have a 2000 Rinker Captiva 192 and wondering how well the floor locker is supposed to drain. There's no water on the locker floor itself where the carpet is, but there's a 1inch round opening in the floor that goes under even further and I can see water under there. Sticking my finger in...

    Bellows new old stock, how old is too old?

    If the oem rubber bellows is still in manufacturer packaging how old is too old before the rubber starts going bad and should not be installed. I'm referring to mercruiser drive shaft bellows.

    Snap fastener screw length?

    I need to replace the boat side snap fasteners for the cockpit cover since some of the current ones aren't stainless and are causing rusty streak down the hull. The current ones use 10mm 1/2" screws and all I seem to be able to find local/amazon, I'm in Canada, are ones with 15mm 5/8" long...

    2000 Rinker Captiva 192 colors

    Does anyone know what colors the 2000 Rinker Captiva 192 came in? I have one that looks to be burgundy and I'm replacing the gel line pinstripe but want to make sure I'm ordering the right color. I found these, the burgundy version is darker but it's too close to call of what my boat is and...

    Red tip float needle valve?

    I was taking apart carbs on my '90 150 and one of the needle valves was frozen so much I had to use a screw driver to pry it free. It looks different from the other two in this motor, it has a red tip. Are these OK to use, not sure why it was stuck so much, this motor ran last last winter, I...

    How do these carbs look?

    I'm finally getting back to rebuilding this '90 150 and was sure I was going to rebuild the carbs but after opening them up they look spotless. I think the previous owner must have had them done not long ago. Now I'm thinking of just cleaning them with carb cleaner and not doing a rebuild...

    '90 Evinrude 150 std piston clearance?

    Does anyone know what the piston/wall clearance is from factory on these motors? I'm rebuilding one of these, the pistons are measuring 3.4945 and service manual states the standard bore is 3.4995-3.5005 which would mean they come with ~0.0055 clearance. How far could you push the clearance...

    I picked up this motor as a winter project. I haven't looked through the service manual yet just wanted to get this thing on my stand which I have but the angle is way off. I lowered the trim by releasing the hydraulic screw on the side but even in the lowest setting it's still tilted way...
