I just purchased a 1989 Baja Islander with a 3.0l and Mercruiser Alpha 1. The coupler was bad when I bought it and I just took it out and see it is the triangle style coupler. (12632A7 or Sierra 18-2195)
It is much more expensive to buy this coupler than it is to buy the "Hub" style coupler (76850A2 or Sierra 18-2171)
I have read posts about changing TO the triangle coupler but not posts about changing FROM the triangle to the hub. Is it possible to do this with little or no modifications?
If not, I see the kits for the triangle style come with the splined shaft, whereas the hub style do not. Is it imperative to get a new shaft with the new coupler even if my shaft looks good?
Thank you,
