Hi All,

I recently acquired and Alpha Ss and noticed that the diameter of the portion of the upper housing that inserts into the transom assembly is smaller. This results in the large o ring being pretty loose that forms the seal in the bellows area.

has anyone else run into this? Am I supposed to be using a different installation kit? I don’t this it’s a major problem as I don’t have exhaust running through the drive but thought it was I’d that the non ss and ss had different diameters.

thanks,
Jason

I have one and not noticed it that way.Mines on a gen I and actually squeezes that oring s bunch. It leaves marks/indentions on it ftom that big spanner nut ir whatever it’s called. Your’s 1 or II ? Can they even be mounted on a II ? I don’t remember. Prob not.

Btw: the exhaust doesn’t run thru the driveshaft bellows on any drive. The exhaust opening is below that.

There is a way to mount a ss to a gen2 . If you search on donzi.net there is was a guy that went by jroot. He mounted one on his. There is a thread on it. He is a machinist so … hope this helps

I have a complete Alpha gen 1 Transom bracket set up for an Alpha SS if you feel you need it, also misc parts.
