make sure you check the length of the input shaft, it should be differnt between the Alpha upper and your old upper.

your 100% correct on that one too, spareparts...the 6 cyl 165hpmerc engine with a MR or M1 outdrive as some refer to it has a 8" shaft while the Alpha's have a 9 1/4" shaft. I measured and have over 10" until I reach the motor. Will there be any problem running an Alpha with the longer shaft? Or is it just best stick to the OEM specs and be safe. What's your though on the shaft issue?
Thanks again for everyone's advise!!!

Hey Moneyhole, If you have a machine shop close by I've got the measurements for an alignment shaft if ya need them! I'll try and find them. I had one made at the shop at my last job for free. Works great!
