Replacing a Mercruiser 888 (ALPHA) with a Sterndrive Engineering INC (SEI) SE106 outdrive

It was time to service the 888 outdrive on our antique Cruisers Yachts runabout. The unit required a significant amount of work, so we removed it and installed a new SE106 outdrive. The rationale for this decision was based on time and cost. Service for the outdrive was anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks out. Rather than give up the boat for a large chunk of the summer, we decided to purchase the SEI unit, which arrived in 3 days. This video covers the install and our initial thoughts on the outdrive

Do you have any advice on Quails or any experience? We are now Going to raise Some Quails And I need some advice

[@growntogether9913]

I have raised little birds but not quail. You might be happiest with a double door set up since quail are little and can fly. Principles of bird keeping are pretty consistent. Give it a try.

If there aren’t p/n‘s on the metal flakes...you’re good.😜

We’ve had it out on Lake Michigan so let’s hope that doesn’t happen or the next video might be how to use the VHF radio to contact the Coast Guard.😬

@@growntogether9913 well if you go back out on the big lake, cruise down the Milwaukee River and pick me up.

Done. I’ll send you some potential dates in September.
