In the lower gear case of an Alpha One Gen II Mercruiser, there is a busching assembly where the lower shift shaft through into the front of the housing assembly. The busching has a threaded area that faces up that you can reach through a hole in the assembly. What is this for? A friend and I are replacing gears tonight, and found that the threaded part of that busching has a piece broken out of it, and we're wondering if we can put it back together and use the boat while we are waiting for a repalcement. The motor is a 1991 4.3 liter V6. Thanks in advance.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
