Greetings,

Not sure if anyone can help with this, but it's worth a shot. I've replaced a 1985 MCM 260 with a 1989 320 EFI motor. The pigtail on the motor is only one pin different from the pigtail...

Yeah I'd be interested in some backup parts. This is a 1991 model boat with 1989 engines (I think). How much are you thinking? Does yours looks like this?

You were right, he definitely knew a lot about it. His assessment is that it will probably work fine they way I want to do it.

Question Hi-Perf 320 EFI- can I use the shift interrupter for alpha drive?

Howdy boys,

For reasons I won't go into, I'm replacing a Mercruiser MCM 260 (5.7) on an alpha drive with a Mercuiser Hi Performance 320 EFI. I know the alpha won't like the torque, but I'm just...

Hi Ray,
