Hello! About two years ago (To busy last year to try and get fixed) I was driving along about 20 mph and the boat just all of a sudden stopped and would just rev up... no prop spinning. Well, after I got it home I had a friend who knew about boats pull the outdrive and we discovered that the gear oil for the outdrive had leaked all out then leading to the two top gears in the upper unit to completely strip out. He has since moved and left me with a boat that has no outdrive! So my question is... should I buy a totally new outdrive or take my outdrive that I have now up to my local boat shop and see how much they will repair it for me (I assume it's just the two transmission gears, but for all I know there could be some lower unit damage as well... but I hope not!)
I really don't want to spend an arm and a leg and the outdrives I found on ebay average around $1,200. Do you think it would cost me less to take mine in and have it repaired?
Need some suggestions... I believe what I have is an Alpha 1, Gen 2 outdrive... It's off of a 93 Mariah Talari Z... 4.3 LX engine. I have the serial #'s if you would like me to post them if that would help out.
Help a brotha out... I miss the lake! :( :cry:
