I second what Indy says, a lot of boats have to have part or all of their outdrive replaced at some point in time. Nothing to worry about as long as the work was done properly.

Thank you very much Indy and bpfirrman.
You are giving me a piece of mind.
I'm looking forward to be part of the Mariah community soon !!

I was pretty sure option A) I listed before was probably the case. The Alpha 1 can be mated to 4.3L, 5.0L and 5.7L engines. The internals on the drive are all the same...

Partially true. I was just following what our fearless leader has posted up originally. I just changed the wordings vs quoting what he said ... hehe.

See below ...

It might be slow, but my wallet is happier then if I had to try and fuel a 5.7L behemoth.

Hello everyone, just something to add for my first post here

All of the lower Alpha units were a 2:1 gear ratio no mater what engine was in front of them. The top unit gear ratio was different depending on what engine size was installed.
