Had this for 3 -4 years now. In that time, I've replaced the starter, new trim motor, new Rams, rebuilt the leg, replaced the heat exchanger, pulled down the top end, replaned the head, inspected the exhaust manifold and generally cleaned and painted it it all up. This is a 1979 Tahiti (sidewinder,cobra) with a 170 hp 470 mercruiser inboard. Goes like stink.

Some people have trouble with the alternator being inside the pulley assembly. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
