Ok here is the deal I have a 1997 bay liner 2050 with a 350 v/8 and a alpha one out drive.

I replaced all the drive bellows last year because of the the shift cable leak.

So here is the problem I am having the drive oil reservoir was almost empty (i checked it because a buzzer was going off) filled it back up and ran the boat.

However after 1 or 2 of running on the river I got it back to the house and checked it and it was down to the add mark again.

I haven't been able to find a leak anywhere on the drive on the outside.

So i removed the lower oil fill plug and drained out about 1 oz of drive oil into a clear container and it was a blackish with some streaks in it.

Plus it looked like it might have soon small metal particles in it but very very small.

So my question is the drive ruined? or what should i do next?

i was driving my sisters camry today and if feels like the steering is loose lots of play couple inchs tracks fine but loose.

I had a used rack put in it about 6 mo's ago.

Any ideas?

Ok heres what i have done.

I have removed the drive replaced the gimble bearing and all the bellows and the boots and the water line,drive oil line and had the shift cable adjusted.

It all back together last nite and ran it on water muffs in my drive way.

shifts perfect however when i shifted it in foward and ran it up to 1500 rpm's it was vibrating some and it vibrated somewhat when it was in netural also.

I just dont know if its right i dont have time to take it to the lake till next week however i dont want to break something.

By the way this was the hardest repair i have ever done to anything.

Any help would be aprecitated

Ok my 1997 bayliner capri w/350 mercruiser started taking on water last week and i found a spilt shift cable boot on the right side of the drive.

How hard is this to replace i have the parts and seals but i did not buy the cable because it is working fine any ideas on how to do this?

Now i have downloaded instructions off the internet and it still sounds confusing i am a good mechanic but i am worried about reinstalling the cable back though the transom.

Any help would be appirecated

Thanks for your help in advance

I replaced my cast alum prop with the same pitch stainless prop last nite and everything went fine.

However when i tightened down it it seemed like it wouldnt tighten up all the way it seems like something was stripped but i looked at the treads and every thing was fine and we took the boat out sunday with the old prop and everything was fine.

Is there a torque setting or something i am missing?

Any ideas?
