I have inherited a 25' MirroCruiser with a 305 and a pre-Alpha Stern Drive
(the one with loop on the top bearing cover).
I have never had this in the water yet.
I have never owned a boat before but I am pretty tech savy.
I needed to repair a few things including:
- the motor (new pistons and valves and I converted it to an electric fuel
pump).


How did you power the electric fuel pump? In the event that you didn't ....
consider providing it's power in a manner that the power is removed if the
engine is not running, even though the ignition may be "on". Often, this is
accomplished by powering it through an oil pressure switch.
