ok i am in the middle of rebuilding motor for my boat. i do not know when the last time this thing was in the shop. i bought her last july knowing that she had a cracked block thought i could fix it and run it but it was a hole lot worse then i thought. new motor about done which brings me to my current question...
i have a alpha1 out drive (boat is a 1987 modle witha 181 in it)and since i dont know when the last time it was in the shop for anything and since i will be having a fresh rebuilt motor going into her i want to make sure that i am not going to have any issues out of the out drive. i figured that i would pull the drive off and take it into my local marina have them put a new impeller in it. what else should i have to do? shouldi cahange out the u joints as well since i am there? how pricie are they?since i will be right there anyways i will be checking the gimble. but as i had mentioned i am mainly wanting to know what elese other then the impeller should i have the shop loook @ wile they have this outdrive in there? thanks in advance for all the help from all of you
