    Unhooking smart chargers

    Question: Is it ok to unhook a smart charger, such as a Deltran Battery Tender, from the battery without first unplugging the charger from the wall? Seems like I used to hear this would damage the old style chargers.

    Manuals for Alpha 2

    Was there a manual for the A1 G2 prior to Manual 14 which is a 2001? I have a 2002 A1 G2 and I have Manual 14. I'm going to help a buddy remove his 1994 A1 G2 soon and I was wondering how many differences to expect or if there are any. Thanks for any help anyone can give.

    Trim system fluid change

    Want to change/purge the 10W30 from my A1 G2 trim system in the off season. I have Manual 14 and will follow that procedure. Just wondering, why does it say plug the manifold holes at one point? Is this to stop air from being sucked in? Can I use any bolt with proper thread?

    Advice on removing ECM

    I'm going to replace the elbow to manifold gaskets in the off season on my 2002 5.0 MPI A1 G2 (0M345638). I know these things are NLA. I'm gonna try to do it without unplugging it. I've heard static electricity can wipe them out. I know to have the battery removed. Any other special...

    Water spewing from top cover of A1 G2

    2002 A1 G2 (OM424120). I removed my top cover over the winter, re-installed with new oring. I followed Manual 14 where it says to put sealer in shaded location shown on page 3A-45 (used Permatex Aviation) and torqued the screws. Started on the muffs today. Water is spewing from around the...

    Coupler - Engineered Marine Products

    I had my coupler replaced a few years ago on my 2002 5.0 MPI, Alpha 2. Recently I was looking over my work order and decided I would Google the part number (93-93203) and it comes up "Engineered Marine Products". I have never heard this manufacturer mentioned on any of these forums. Can...

    Steering lever bolt and "Frankenstein" plugs

    As a winter project I’m trying to track down steering play on my 2002 Alpha 1 Gen 2. I have the “Frankenstein” plugs installed due to a gimbal ring replacement around 10 years ago. I removed the plugs and can see there is some play at the steering lever location. I want to torque the steering...

    Alpha 2 removal

    Time to remove the leg. Hoping someone can refresh my memory. Which way do I need to spin the prop to safely put it into forward gear? Or, does it matter?

    Coupler zerk

    At the beginning of last season I had my 2002 5.0 MPI alpha one gen 2 pulled, new rear engine mounts and coupler installed. A shop did this work. I did the leg removal/install and alignment. Greased the coupler through the zerk after install. Since the coupler was new I greased it again...

    Oil hose leak

    2002 5.0 MPI A1 G2 Ser #OM345638: My oil hose, the inner most hose closest to the engine, that goes to the remote oil filter is weeping oil. At idle probably a drop every 30 seconds. It appears to be weeping through the “fabric” part of the hose, not the crimp. It looks as though this may...

    Engine Mounts vs Alignment

    2002 5.0 MPI, A1 G2. I'm seeking an opinion on my situation. My engine is leaning to port. To be honest I'm a bit embarressed that I've never noticed this being the original owner of the boat. One look at the engine mounts reveals why. The stringers look strong. I see no evidence of them...

    Pressure Test alpha one gen 2?

    Often reader, first time poster. I'm unclear on something and would appreciate any help. Is it possible to pressure test a A1 G2 lower only? My boat is stored 1.5 hours from the house. I've changed impellers numerous times and am comfortable handling the lower only but not the upper/lower...
