Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this kit fits my specific sterndrive?
This kit is designed for all MerCruiser Alpha One (Gen 1 & 2) and Bravo (One, Two, Three) models. The best way to confirm fitment is to check if your existing hardware's part number matches the references 859116Q01 or 11-859116Q01.
Why is stainless steel important for marine hardware?
Stainless steel offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, which is critical in both freshwater and saltwater environments. This ensures the hardware maintains its strength and integrity over time, preventing catastrophic failure.
What are the signs of failing outdrive mounting hardware?
Symptoms of failure include excessive vibration from the transom area, a noticeable looseness in the sterndrive unit, or water leaking into the bilge from around the bell housing connection. Regular inspection is recommended.
Is a torque wrench required for installation?
Yes, using a torque wrench is critical. Applying the correct torque as specified by the manufacturer ensures the nuts are tight enough to prevent loosening from vibration but not so tight as to damage the studs or housing.
