    Alpha One Gen II loosing oil

    Sorry, misunderstood, mentioned it stays forever so figured it stops It should be tested as whole drive. Most consensus is 5 to 7 psi. The seals being lip type will seal tighter as the pressure increases. Also good to use a hand vacuum pump and pull 2 to 3 in Hg. Rotating drive, prop and...

    BSS Add-A-Battery ACR and wiring questions

    In general connecting the ALT to the start bat will be sufficient to change both. For house bats which get used a lot, it might be best to connect the ALT to the house bat. This way once motor starts the ALT provides full charge capacity to house and ACR will connect the start once level is...

    99 5.0 GI Volvo Penta siezed

    The 5.7 will bolt right up. Get a 1995 or newer vortec long block. Carb is probably fine but would check the plugs a few times after running WOT to see if your running lean. Being your 20 ft you won't have a hp plate

    Haven't worked on a Alpha in many years, just Bravo for me. You need manual 6 before starting. Without the manual things can go wrong. The list of tools for the lower is called for, but some may be able to use others. Someone like @Bondo or @Bt Doctur can advise better
