alpha lowers
 
OK heres the deal. i have an 85 chris scorpion with the original gen1 alphas on it. i hava a line on a lower that i am pretty sure is a late 90's or so alpha. will that late of a lower fit on my early drive. thanks guys :cool:

Only if its a Gen 1 lower. Can't put a Gen 2 lower on.

glassdave 04-10-2004 09:36 PM

thanks MT . . thats what i needed to know. i dont have the benifit of being able to compare the two side by side before i buy. my boat has the original gen1's and the drive in question came off a late 90's donzi classic i believe. thanks.

Put a counter-rotation lower on the port side, if the boat rolls to the left it may stop it. Boat will handle better too, docking and under way.

i was thinking of doing that but was having trouble locating a gen1 lefty. boat seems to handle pretty well now but it would be nice have a counter rotator on it.

Have a good drive shop make one up. It may cost a bit though! BBB

BTW does anybody know the year they stoped making the gen1 alpha

pullmytrigger 04-11-2004 12:44 PM

so you can change just the lower and make the drive counter rotate???

glassdave 04-11-2004 12:49 PM

thats correct twin. the counter rotation is in the lower. i think there is a few more minor things like cable orientation. but the lower itself handels left or right rotation :cool:

91 was end of gen1 in new boats.
