    prop advise please i/o

    Correct cleaver gives you stern lift and a chopper style gives you added bow lift. But remember not all Cleavers are created the same or even work the same. Look around and see if you can find a used quade IV OT 22 pitch hydramotive prop you won't be disapointed.

    Alpha SS Lower Unit

    The lower foot only fits the Alpha SS or you can put a realy long shaft in it and it would fit a 2.4 out board.

    Thank You. I haven't heard anything bad yet about the SEI drives, we are soon going to be testing them. We have tested the land and sea stern jack and have gone faster and have had better results with out it. Any time you set a outdrive or a outboard engine back you need to go up with it.

    Food for thought, there is nothing stock about the Alphas I build there all customs shafts and parts I make. If I did not it would never hold up to that kind of HP and torque.

    The Alpha SS uses a 2.4 lower out board foot and not a Alpha 1 foot. I can put a stronger upper gear set and put a fat shaft in the lower foot. That's the best you can do with the Alpha SS.
