Excellent Video - Extremely helpful and thorough. Aside from a great presentation I was impressed with the cleanliness and organization of Michael's garage. He provides a very professional image. Thank you.
>Easy install is to install the impeller on the shaft then slide the housing down the shaft and then just rotate the shaft pushing down on the housing , About a half a turn and the housing will drop right to the bottom. On other pumps that you half to fight to install the impeller, ( inboards ) try squeezing the impeller with a hose clamp until it is small enough to slide into the housing, WALA!
Very helpful.Thanks. Wondering what kind of rpms the top drive can handle, if someone wanted to upgrade the engine? Or is it more of a torque issue than rpms that would cause the top gear or stern drive to fail.
I wish I had a better answer but what I do know is my 170hp mercruiser is the exact same one on my 120hp. Hope this helps. RPM's shouldn't make much of a difference. It's all about the torque it can handle.
I don't have an out drive but I still enjoy watching and learning. Keep up the good work.
Thanks 👍

Glad it was helpful! Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice video. This is exactly the project I am working on now on my son's 86' SeaRay with an Alpha 1 Gen 1. Thanks for the post well done.
Awesome video! Just what I needed before I tackled mine. Looking forward to watching your other tutorials
I’ve been waiting all winter to see you get that old Rinker running! Can’t wait!
Thank you. I have never had an I/O apart before and I had to pay big bucks to have it done in the past. Now I know how!
Great video. I had the same MC-1 outdrive on my 1982 Searay. The bellows were a pain to change.
Just want to say thank you for this video. It helped me and a buddy get the job done. Keep up the good work. :)
you rock,!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much, excellent video

@@Michaelsbackyardmarina That is very helpful. Thanks.
what size is that 0 ring and where do I get it?
the orange is for the pump base, having trouble finding where those go because mine needs replaced noone seems to replace those
Not sure what you are asking here.
merci mon ami on partage la méme passion
Merci d'avoir regardé et commenté. Les bateaux sont une passion chère à coup sûr
Parts list?
hello from the sunny ozarks!! where did you get your bracket for your kick motor and was it diffacult to install on the stern?
Amazon
@@Michaelsbackyardmarina thanks!
nice! have you been out on the rez yet this year. .? the shallow water channel cat bite is on fire right now
oh man that is a good time. I hit that bite two years ago.
Don't place the pump in the housing first place it on the drive shaft then rotate the shaft.
Any idea what stern drive I would have on a 1974 starcraft 18ft holiday? 140 mercruiser ...
MerCruiser Alpha Gen 1 Outdrive (1973-1991)

Why does it look so easy when you do it . When I did it ,it was a pain to take apart hope it will go together Easter.
It can be a little bit of a pain.
Is that pre alpha.. outdrive looks like mine on a 1974 StarCraft.. I see it's from Amazon.. what part number
The pump replacement kit
there are so many varieties. I took mine apart and then ordered to make sure I got the right kit.
Can you post the part number of that kit please?
