    70's 9.8 impeller

    I recently bought a couple of mercury 9.8's. I put the two together and made one good running one. The fellow gave me an impeller that he thought went to the motor. Im pretty sure the lower section is off a 71 model. I pulled the lower unit and removed the worn out impeller. The new one slides...

    9.9 coils

    I picked up a nice little 70 model 9.9 at a yard sale the other day with an extra partial engine to boot for parts. I put the good one in a barrel and it started on the third pull.
