    '67 Holiday 18' - Make it Usable

    A quick internet search of your motor show rpm range to be 4800-5300. With your anticipated load of 4 buddies on board you want that zuke turning around 5300 when lightly loaded. That should put you into the sweet spot when fully loaded. A tach is essential when trying to dial in a prop...

    Bellow replacement job

    Inspect both trim puck wires closely and consider replacing both. They're not that pricey. I made the mistake of not doing this when my bellows were replaced and now I'm nursing them through with liquid electrical tape

    2003 5.0 MPI problems

    Replace distributer cap as mentioned. It's easy. Replace IAC muffler, the small piece of foam (white when new, may be black if old) under the flame arrestor. May not be your issue but these are easy tune ups that you can eliminate. FWIW part #2 (check valve assembly) in the drawing for your...

    Tige 2100 jumping out of water

    Sounds like porpoising. Would recommend getting your trim tab system back in working order. This is most likely the cause. That's why they are there to begin with. What system does it have? Are both not working?

    Stingray 208cr trimtabs question

    Hard to exactly tell but looks like a strange install. It looks like the gas spring is mounted on a sponson that protrudes outward. The spring should be mounted on the same plane as the tab. Maybe it could work with the right planning.

    Steel Caps or Bearing Buddys?

    If you're the type that even with BBs you will re-pack anyway, stick with the caps. Caps are light thin metal that does not protrude outward thus they tend to stay attached. BBs do not like to be removed. Every time you do so it slops our the hub bore and you will start loosing them. If you...

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    Went to the boat last night. Right away I could see the plunger was a good bit off center to the V notch. Per manual 14 I verified the lower cable was at the bottom of the slot. Measured the travel of the upper cable per Chris’s video. Measured 3 1/8”, i.e. within specifications. Removed the new...

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    Thanks Chris. I came across that also. I'm planning on getting to the boat tomorrow to look into it.

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    The boat is an hour and half from the house in dry storage so not sure when I'll be able to get back. I'll follow the procedure in the manual and post back. Thanks to everyone

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    No. The only thing I can think of is, I did some work on my controller over the winter while the shift plate was removed that involved moving the shifter. It may be possible operating it like this pushed something out of kilter

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    Am I correct that the adjustable stud it refers to in 11. a. on page 17 is the forward most stud on the lower shift cable?

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    Point taken. Thanks to all. Any idea how to adjust out this issue?

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    I'll do that next time I get back to the back. I could hear a click then it would pop outta gear

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    Ha not well at the moment.

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    Surely simply removing the shift plate from the elbow and installing a new switch and re-attaching wouldn't cause one to have to go through the entire set up procedure again. Maybe I'll put my old switch back on and see what happens.

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    No. Just hoping to avoid future problems.

    Alpha 2 not coming out of gear after new interrupt switch.

    All I did was remove old switch and put a new in. I didn't try manually depressing it but it seemed to be killing the engine.
