Now, being a Mercruiser product, the Alpha comes with Mercruiser-exclusive benefits, such as the Power Trim XD with hydraulic memory that returns the drive to the preset trim position in the event it comes into contact with underwater objects, and a greasable drive coupler that is accessible from inside the boat that reduces the amount of time your boat is out of the water during routine maintenance.

Don’t let corrosion stop you.
Each coat of paint is baked on for maximum adhesion, while Mercruiser’s exclusive Electro Deposition Priming ensures uniform, complete coverage. Electrostatically applied acrylic powder paint finishes the job.
Worried about corrosion? Fear not, for all aluminum components are cast with Mercruiser’s exclusive XK-360 alloy, which contains very little copper for maximum corrosion resistance. Other corrosion-susceptible parts are built from the highest-grade stainless steel. If that wasn’t enough, Mercruiser offers an exclusive 3-year Limited Corrosion Failure Warranty on all standard-production gas and diesel sterndrive and inboard products.
