Hi Fred,


A lesson from the school of hard knocks:

Take it to a mercruiser certified shop, who honors their warranties, and
has the right knowhow & equipment to remove it. A broken lower housing,
ot damaged shaft/thrust bearing is VERY EXPENSIVE to replace...

The shop that does my work is:
Westside Marine - Jacksonville Florida
(Les Spicer)
(904)695-2756
sorry no email.

You can ship him your drive and he will repair and return it. If I
remember correctly, an Alpha dismounts with 6 mount bolts and 2 rams.

I have a mercruiser alpha 1. I would like to remove the prop and lubricate
the shaft, but it won't budge. Any suggestions?
