    Best Oil Extractor

    I put the plastic tube down the dipstick as mine does not have a garden hose adapter, or suck out the drain hose under my pan. You can easily put a female garden hose adapter using a compression fitting on hose end and connect it to the garden hose adapter. These are all common hardware store...

    Best Oil Extractor

    3 years on one and the second one I just got. My home and lake houses are 5 hrs drive apart so I have ended up buying a lot of duplicate tools for convenience.

    Best to order by serial number of the drive should be on the side near the vent plug on the upper as even within drive families there are differences. The street term pre-alpha just refers to any drive made before the alpha one, the MC-1 predates the R, MR, and Alpha one. The MC-1 was made...

    Snap ring predated the alpha drive, M/MR/alpha gen one ( all more or less the same drive) will fit on an MC1 transom housing, a common replacement maybe post some pics of drive and transom assy so folks know what you are working with.

    Alignment tools

    i think so but bearing may have been superseded since then So I’m not sure. You must have an early MC-1 with the snap ring holding in the bearing. A little before i was turning wrenches. @Bondo or @Bt Doctur would probably be able to assist with that

The key thing with the gimbal bearing to to make sure you are only driving on the outer race and it is fully seated. Ive done it with a 1” wooden...

    2003 Ebbtide Mercruiser 3.0 engine rattle? Normal?

    He says he has spark, i assume this is to disable the shift interrupt? wonder if the idle stop screw is too far out and throttle blades are completely closed?
