    1983 merc 115 problems

    So I bought a 115 mercury top. It seams that I've been replacing lots of wires. I changed the stator with a brand new one for $270.00. The wires off the original were literally dust. It runs good but I noticed when replacing the stator. The fuel/oil line for the top crank bearing was broken off...

    Tower of power serial #

    OK I have a 150 or a 115 the serial number 7171946. I cant refrence it with anything. It has a 115 cowl with a 150 midsection. I believe it is a CanadIan made so that's why I can't find the number anywhere. Does anyone know where to find the serial number so I can order parts.

    9.8 merc drive shaft removal

    I got everything down to bare case to do the seals but the top bearing is rusted and rough rolling. How do I remove the shaft? I removed the pinion bolt and bolt retainer. Does the shaft and bearing come out as one unit?

    Johnson 9.9 driveshaft pitting @ seal location

    I'm working on this 9.9 johnson but the shaft is pitted right where the seals land, and when I install the new seals installing them either past or ahead of the old seals wouldn't work because the shaft is pitted in different spots, I know the best bet should be get a newer shaft,in better...

    Anything I should be aware of? I replaced the impeller last year at the end of the season. I just gave it a tune up, and replaced the impeller and filled it with gear oil.
