"Hi,Guys
I had my Alpha 1 outdrives serviced offseason and after taking the boat out I lost the port side drive which is the counter rotating side.
The company that did the service looked at the boat outdrive and said it hit something and needed to be replaced.After pulling the boat out of lake michigan I inspected the drive and it looked ok. The marine company insisted that the drive was damaged.I ordered a new counter rotating drive and had it replaced. I had another marine company dismantle the port drive to see the damage and they infomed me that a bearing inthe lower unit failed and that it was a standard rotating drive. Could installing the drives incorrectly counter to starboard and standard to port damage the lower unit.
Thanks for your feed back!
