I need to replace the engine in one of my boats. It has a 1990 Mercruiser 3.0
litre with an Alpha One drive. There were a few on EBAY, even some new ones
for good prices but none around the same year as mine. Does anyone know of a
site or place that can tell me what years of this motor will fit in my boat?
Calling Mercury was no help, they would only say that they used this particular
style (gimbal mount) 3.0 motor 2 years and completely discontinued it, and
there are no replacement blocks available from them. Nice. The 3.0 engines
before and after it appear to look the same. Does anyone know whats different
between the years?
