Seafari Pre-Alpha gear ratio

[McGillicuddy]

Padre,
My book shows the Model I early 110/140 shows 2:1

Model 140R s/n above 2791957 shows 1.98:1

Make sure the transom assembly is compatible. I found the Alpha drive was not compatible type I-C EZ transom assembly.

I don't know if simply changing out the transom assembly would allow you to go with the early Alpha which may be far easier to find parts for.'.

These ratios come from the Seloc manual because I couldn't find the info in the Mercury Manuals.

Err, are there moral implications relative to the insurance history?

Let us know what you find...

Thanks! Tooth count says I have 1.98:1

I don't think so. He's not making a profit on it.

When i pulled mine out of my 20 Sefari it was a 198:1 drive. Looked to be original. That 165 ratio drive wont be right.

Yeah, I know. I'd have to radically change props to about a 16" pitch from the current 19".
