It's time to change the water pump on my Alpha 1 stern drive and check out a few other components. Plus a tech tip or two

Great video. I had the same MC-1 outdrive on my 1982 Searay. The bellows were a pain to change.

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!

>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!

Don't place the pump in the housing first place it on the drive shaft then rotate the shaft.

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.
