Re: How many actaully own Mercruiser drive alignment tools?

Thanks! I had came across that, I am looking for the "handle length" It looks like the spec's show about 8.7 inches, I assume the handle is maybe 16 inches?

My boat is unavailable at the moment and my buddy told me he could turn one out for me in his spare time at the shop. I will try to post the details later, most of my project is detailed at Club Sea Ray.

Thanks Again!

The handle length is not fixed and makes no difference, make it anything you want. Look at where it fits, and decide how much you want sticking out past the bellhousing so you can hang onto it. Anything from 2 to 3 feet overall length should work fine.

Real mechanics only need two tools, a small hammer and a large hammer. :D

In that case, in addition to the two essential tools, there is only one thing needed on the supply side - a big roll of duct tape. ;)

Okay - two things: duct tape and some Bond-o "ayuh - any grease."
