I replaced the bellows, water hose, gimble bearings on 2 Alpha transom assemblies this spring w/o removing the bell housing before I installed the TA's on my boat. Wasn't real hard, but obviously...

If you are trying to put new ones in the direction they spin, don't worry about that. Just get the impellors in, even if the vanes are pointing both directions. They will flip to the correct...

Those aren't bypass balls. They are check valves. Test them just to see how restrictive they are for passing water. You'd be surprised there is almost no restriction. The springs just keep the balls...

So your motor ran with a reverse cam in it, yet the motor still spun the normal direction? Interesting

The Alphas can't be reversed like a Bravo can. They'll be junk before your day on the lake is over.
Gotta go to CR lower unit.

Standard rotations use RH props.
CR use LH props

US1Bayliner just doesn't sound right.








Thank god :D

I ordered the white Gel from Spectrum for my Baja as it was supposed to be the original mix. I had it sprayed just this week and it was whiter than the boat do to the gel fading and UV . I'd think...

That was SlickNick, or NickSlick. I think it was an older Scarab though.
Shorgasm had a Bayliner.


I'll take the Fountain for $1 Alex. :)

Is there a reason why can't we delete our own wanted/4sale ads in the swap shop?

Might help some confusion ridding of old ads that we can't even edit the original post, w/o having to make a new...

Should be right here

I considered keeping a bucket of water next to me and when someone would comment on it sinking as a idled past, I'd grab a Dixie cup and start bailing from the bucket of water, with a look of panic...

Yeah, mine does the same thing when idling with teh exhaust open and the boat is rolling with the waves. Whoop, Whoop, Whoop,.... :)

Back when I 1st bought and went to launch it, it kept on going...

Lets get this back on topic and watch Jeffs handy work. I for one enjoy the do it yourself projects.


Note; I left my pic up so insanitys post would make some kind of sense, now that the post...

I really don't see any difference than what my boat has as far as vent design. I don't think Fountain would have used them if it scrubbed any speed off. Gotta click the pics a couple times to blow...

I don't know true or not. Just go with what I read or am told. I do appreciate all opinions to help. Alot of replies bring up some info that I wouldn't have known to even consider and then I'll do...

Yeah Jeff, keep us informed. Pics would be good. I'm more of a coloring book than a Readers Digest person. :) I'm going to use my Cabosil. I gots tons of that stuff left over. I'll be glad when I...

Thanks Artie!! I've mastered that Cabisol, so I'll use it. 1 less product to throw away when this project is done.


Phil, I ain't worried about putting too much Gel on. My process whenever...

Hey Artie, which filler would be prefered for filling the lows spots from the West Sys. line? I'm thinking either the 407 or 410, going from the desciption. I also don't see any reference if they...

Now you know how the inexperienced get so confused.

I've thought I read that too Artie, but wasn't 100% sure.

But then I 've also read, and seen some do, on here and elsewhere how gel can't...

Thanks boss. I guess that's what I meant about the gel/resin. Kinda same way to apply.

I take it then you ain't going to visit your buddy? He ain't going to be happy 'bout that. ;)

Well fulk! Now this is exactly why I have so much trouble doing any of this transom repair. Just as soon as I think I'm learning something, I learn it ain't right. Let me ask this, do you mix it and...

But, it has a drive guard!






A bow guard, and a side rail guard. :D

Guys, I've been trying to get the high spots sanded down, but for the life of me, I can't get it straight in both directions at the same time. The biggest issue here is that the transom, past the...

Hey guys, what has been the thinnest transom you have seen that had no issues being too thin to keep the input shaft from bottoming out in the coupler? Alpha/Bravo setup. I know Merc specs 2" as a...

Had both, torsion under the 27, and now leaf under the 32. Both Eagles.

Torsion is QUIEEEEET and made for a slightly lower sitting ride. Did have to watch when going over the crest of ramps or...
