Ted do you know the correct nut size for the upper studs on the actual gimbal housing, it's the fine threaded stud. I cant remove the stud to bring it too a hardware store. Thanks
I replaced my transom, when i put the gimbal housing back on do i have to angle the drill holes in the new transom. I noticed the bolts on the gimbal housing are angled.
I would recommend a transom cutout/drill template. And the transom bolts are not drilled at an angle they are all perpendicular or 90 degree angle to the transom.
In 1991 MerCruiser launched the Alpha GEN II which is a totally different transom assembly and outdrive. They are similar to the early GEN 1 (just called Alpha One) but the parts are totally different and the housings are different sizes, (nothing is compatible).

@@tedsmarinerepair8956 Thanks Ted. Can you be more specific and can you possibly send me a link etc.
Great video.
Thank you!
Great video.
With all your experience, what would be the best steering upgrade on a MC1 188hp, with non power assist mechanical?
Hydraulic?
Thank you great video
Great video thanks
Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤
Good video. I’m looking to upgrade my Alpha 1 Gen 1 steering cylinder to a Gen 2. Do you know if they will just swap out?
Sorry unknown, I have a GEN 2 TSK I want to upfit to my older 86 Chris craft and it will need PS so I will find that out in the future
What is the difference between a Gen 1 and a Gen 2?
