Thanks Denny. Good insight, as usual.

I bought a storm damaged boat front boat us (tree fell across gunnel) that had about 150 hours on it and has a v6 with alpha, but fitting the v6 looks like a job

cc,
I'm not 100% certain on what I said regarding compatibility. In fact, I mispoke. I have the
MC 1-C EZ shift, which preceded the MC-1.
At the time my drive failed, I spoke with SEI and some Merc sales folks and they advised me of incompatability of Alpha. Merc mechanic said it would be problematic, but for all I know he was also the "service advisor."
Difference may very well have been as simple the change of transom plates.
