Hi Dave
How much to install the 150 engine on my V21? Not sure I really want to go to a 150 (down from my 200) but gas is getting expensive I'd love to get a good 4 stroke 150 put on it, but haven't seen any good prices yet.

David, I will certainly send Ryan a card first thing in the morning. Is their anything his family needs , what does Ryan like , what would make him smile beside the card ? John.

If I send you my Mercruiser 170 engine model & serial numbers, will you tell me what alternator I need or order one for me? I absolutely expect to pay you your profit, overhead and for your time. I'm extremely busy right now and fishing season is starting - I REALLY want to have my boat running for this season.

If the one wire units need higher RPM's to charge, I should probably step up to whatever one works at lower RPM's.

I did some diagnosis using the manual you sent and have a commutator short to ground. I guess the regulator passed the one test I did - I think it was checking for low resistance between the stator wire studs and the alternator case - the resistance was infinite, no reading at all. The epoxy (or whatever it is) regulator filler is cracked and my feeling is to just replace the alternator completely and have a conventional setup. I'll pull the balancer and check for a pinched wire but I doubt that's the problem.

Hey Spare - please take a look at the thread I just posted in General - Electronic ignition for 170. I trust your advice - you really helped me through my alternator and water pump repairs. Thanks - Scott

Well Dave did you take the .50 cent tour?

hey do u have facebook or some other live chat

hi do u have any live chats we can chat on

What is the name of that marine parts place in Harker Island NC that you said you order parts from? I need a new exh bellow for my volvo penta 1991 DP 290. Wouldn't if that was tore or leaking cause the black on the stern of my boat? I think the part number is 875848-4.

I didn't want to ask on the forum and let everyone know but I hope your accident wasn't bad. Hope no one got hurt and it didn't mess up your vehicle.

You need some good luck.
