Well it cant be that, it had been converted to an external alternator before I got it. I recently changed out the camshaft seals and checked the back of the harmonic balancer and the magnets were gone. I just looked on a Breezeworks site and found a 97432A1 coupler for 109.00. Thats less than half of everyone else. Do you know if these are used or not? Id rather have a new one if I got to go through all the trouble to install it.Most are around 209.00. Do you know of any cheaper new ones? Thanks Spare!

The 250 SEARAY I redid last year would vibrate pretty bad as well when trimmed in hard. Smoothed right out when you trimmed it to a neutral position. This was with a V8/ALPHA 1 combo.

Ferm brings up a good point, most boats will create a resonance when trimmed all the way in, I don't know if its cavitation or just vibration going thru the drive, but once you trim it a little, it quiets down, certainly would be cheaper than any other solution. How bad is this thing vibrating? Is causing you mixer to go flat? Rattleling the wax out of your ears? or just a slight annoyance that you notice only because you worked on it

It rattles anything light laying loose in the boat like a fishing rod laying up against the gunnel. Its really not terrible but definately noticeable to me and others in or out of the water. It makes my old Ritchie compass spin around. But after I get underway I trim the drive up till the bow almost bounces and it goes away. My buddys 86 v20 with the same motor and drive is smooth as silk all the time. If I can get over Christmas I might buy me a new coupler and change it out. I dont think it will be to bad of a job. I think I can do it without pullin the motor out, just support the rear , pull the outdrive and crawl back there and unbolt it. Probley gotta pull the bellhousing off.

pull the drive and make sure you don't have one of your u-joints binding, while you have the drive off, try the alignment shaft/engine running trick

Well, I found my vibration! I went to check the alignment on my 170 Merc/ Alpha one drive yesterday and I reached in and grabbed the drive shaft and can shake it all around. So my coupler is shot! I ordered one last night, 226.00 with shipping. Maybe this will take care of the vibration I've been feeling since I rebuilt the motor and drive. Seems its always something! This is the ONLY thing I havent replaced!!!! Will probably take a good day ta pull the motor and drive and get it in. Gotta get it right really quick, we are headed to Nags Head in 2 weeks!! Cant wait, We need a good vacation!!
