Thanks much. Got my drive back together thanks to your wisdom!

It amazes me that you got that 3/8 fitting into the carburetor fitting up top. I tried with a fitting from west marine and had 0 luck and did not want to force it

Just wanted to say thanks! I spent a day and a half trying to remember how to reassemble my alpha one after doing the water pump. It’s been a lot of years, and I forgot the step of putting it in gear up at the controls and on the drive. As soon as I did that it was all good! Got to drive together shifted in and out of neutral forward and reverse with no problems first try! Thanks again!!!

Good video. Hard to get at mechanical pump tho due to the way my Tahoe bilge is shaped, so I may opt to just retrofit an electric pump (keeping stock filter/water sep. on electric pump suction). Confirmed pump was bad by removing fuel filter/water separator, emptying, re-installing, and then cranking engine. Remove and look for fuel in filter, if filter is empty, you have a bad pump (no suction thru filter, with no sucking from tank in order to fill the filter, and self-prime the mechanical fuel pump).

why do you have a truck?

Just a suggestion, if you hold your phone sideways you get a full screen video instead of 1/3 screen in the middle..

I just mounted mine yesterday. I had the problem getting the last inch or so too. I got on the ground, used my leg to hold it and help guide it up. All i had to do was keep upward pressure while spinning the propeller clockwise and it eventually popped up the rest of the way. As the shift spline makes contact with its hole you just have to make sure when it starts pushing up the little foot is lined up. I can be done with out clipping or bungee-ing anything. You just have to make sure everything is lining up while spinning the prop counter clockwise. Also be sure the shifter is all the way forward before removal and leave it then until its reinstalled

Thank you so much I spent 4 hours tring to get it back together

Tengo una suburban 2008 es el mismo procedimiento ??

Does someone know that’s the size of that yellow or clear plastic hose size or have a link to buy it? My just disconnected by it self and it just short about 4” no matter how I try to put it back, and it is so rock hard…. Maybe just need change a new one

Good video, especially the tip about clamping the shift into the horseshoe. But why is it necessary for the outdrive to be level when removing or reattaching the lower unit? I've replaced the impeller many times on my 1987 Alpha One. With the the boat on a low trailer with the outdrive level, the lower unit is on the floor while the driveshaft is still inside the upper unit cavity, requiring tilting of the lower unit to fully remove it, as well as positioning it for reinstallation - while working from an awkward position on the floor. With the outdrive up it's far easier to physically handle and maneuver the lower unit from behind, especially if working alone. I also remove the prop nut, then then slide the prop after positioning the gears. It takes only a few minutes and makes it almost impossible to move the prop shaft out of position while reinstalling the lower unit.

Man than you so much! After two hours of fighting with lower unit I was defeated and then watched the first 75 seconds of your video, I paused it and got it on almost instantly 🎉 😅

Thanks buddy I’ve been having the same problem! Unfortunately I thought it bad to be locked going Clockwise because it’s going in forward gear. wtf I had it up and in place and took it back off 😡😡 I don’t have the stern drive back to the level position. Are You Sure it has to be down to a level position?

Amazing job! Very intuitive. It's all about repeat not retreat. Thank you

Can you tell if you have good spark without testing your spark plugs?

Dude! I just about lost my composure trying to remount my lower unit. It came off so easy - it's a fairly simple event. I could not figure out what I'd missed. I even compared my old lower to the new, thinking I might have grabbed the wrong generation - although I knew that was nearly impossible given what was sitting in front of me. This little no-nonsense video preserved what's left of my sanity. Thank you!

Thanks guys

I would run the stock washers on it.

I've done these before, but not in about 10 years. I had a problem getting the lower unit back on that last 1/2 inch. I watched several videos by so called experts and NO ONE covered it like you did. As soon as I saw you go underneath with the little clamp it all came back to me. Thanks for the great job on this video.

Out of a bunch of videos on the bushing replacement this is the best one so far THANKS

Great video. Someone lowered my C4 an inch before I bought it and so I am looking to un-lower it so I don't have to deal with so many scraping issues. Seems like a pretty simple process.

My guy . You say how to do it But don't show the steps. I watch you tube to see it being done. Pro tip, companies make phone holders/stands, etc. You didn't show the steps? Why not show yourself doing it? We are watching because we are idiots! And who takes time to lower their vette and make a video without taking before and after results? Thanks anyway. 👍

How fast does it go up and down to pump fuel? Slow or quick? Thanks

How much lower is it???? Did it change how it handl????

Where did you source the rubber bushings? Thanks.

It's 2021 & this technique still works for me today as I bought the newest RCA Universal remote with code 31641 and it worked perfectly in my Nissan Armada 2008. Thank you man for this short & to the point video. The remote only cost like maybe $10 from Walmart too.

Get off your LAZY ASS and do more videos brother!!! Your good at making them bro haha.

did you have to prime it after?

Really struggling to get my compression bolt free from the carburetor

Hi there, I want to lower my rear an inch, square it with front, but I have the FX3 suspension, will lowering the rear only an inch set off the dash light?

I have a 2010. Trying to use this code. Not working. Are you able to help???

Great video! Saved us a ton of 💵!

OK THEN , sounds like a 10 beer job.

The full weight of the back of the car is on those little washers. Talk about unsafe! You should have cut the old bushings off the factory washers. Hopefully when this fails you're the only one injured, otherwise have fun with the lawsuit.

good my friend sizes before and after results

let me know tight or loose bolt make more distance from floor.

Nice video better explained , a question , How can lift this suspensión , with original bolts like Dragster mod ..regards !

@Lpass2020 do the screws or bolts on the fuel pump have lock washers?

Didn't live long with those tiny washers. There's a reason the original washers were the same diameter as the bushings.

Any idea how to lower the front

Hey do u have to have a remote in order for the dvd player to work, because I purchased a used truck with no remote and the dvd player will not come on... 2004 Nissan Armada

Where dose the yellow line connect to i changed my pump but. It didn't had the old pump for line reference

You did everything fine, except fuel lines on boats are not “bla bla bla”. They must be Coast Guard approved fuel lines.

Has the Front video been done? Thanks.

Yes, thanks for reminding me to have a fire extinguisher at hand.

another video showed a mechanic using an old hacksaw blade bent in a L shape to hold up the push rod while sliding in the new pump seems to be a good trick I'll try it out when my new pump arrives in 2 days he showed it was easy to remove instead of using a screw driver... good info thanks I'm doing the same replacement don't forget the 2nd filter that goes into the front of the carb mine had sand in it can't believe it made it through the fuel/water filter separator the lines were fused onto the carb looked like it wasn't changed in 20 yrs bought the boat 3yrs ago replacing a little each year...I'm debating installing an additional inline fuel filter since the water filter/separator allowed sand to travel through it crazy!

your video is suppose to show how to change the fuel pump. I find it funny that you say" you have to watch a video on how to lift the push rod. I thought that would fall under how to change a fuel pump.lol

New stainless steel bent OEM fuel line comes with the carb connector nut and all but is pricey over 100 I have a 3.0l merc. racing stainless flex line kit is cheaper and looks better with colored fittings under 100

What is the golden (yellow) line? For Air or Fuel? Thanks
