I recently purchased a boat with a 1990 Mercury Force 90HP engine. I have had some real troubles with the engine so far, and have been getting repairs done at a local shop. The most recent issue (so I'm told) is that I need to replace my flywheel, at a cost of about 1000.00<br /><br />The reason for this repair is because there are some "laminate washers" on the top of the flywheel, which appears to have been whacked with a hammer, causing them to de-laminate, and become out of level. I am told that not replacing my flywheel could cause serious further damage...<br /><br />I would appreciate other opinions, as to whether or not the new flywheel is required. <br /><br />Also, if anyone knows a good on-line mercury parts store (new or used), let me know.<br /><br />Thanks in advance...
