    I believe so. There were identical pumps on my 50 & 70HP Mercs. The prior owner of one of the 70s told me that he got the pump from a 90 as well.

    Yes, the TNT motor is likely separate. Replacements are available, but they're pricey. Not to mention that if the motor is gone, the hydraulic lines might have to be replaced as well. More bucks.

    Yeah, I'm looking forward to doing this again. Y'all remember this video from when I had the KF donor crushed, right? Too much fun! :LOL:

    I'm not sure if I want to move that jack plate over to the MC. The boat is rated for 150HP, but I could end up hauling like the one below. Remember this little girl imitating a turbo? I figure the MC with the 150 and jack plate might be like this. Is that good or bad? 🤪 😂

    Did you see Post #2385? And no, I didn't lose any money! 😂

    It begins... Sold the KF yesterday and turned my attention to the MC project. 😁 First step is to get the big 150 off of the donor. I got the cover off and things lined up, but that's all for today. "The boy" graduates from HS today, so we'll be busy preparing for that. 👨‍🎓 I'm gonna...

    I'm thinking that's probably a 1981-83 and may or may not be crank rated power in lieu of prop rated. I recall reading that Mercury started transitioning to prop rated earlier than other manufacturers, so it's a guess. I know that the brown stripe 1985s were prop rated.

    What To Get?

    I know, right? 🤪 The guy was showing all the electronics splayed at the front of the yak and talking about other stuff like that. I have no idea how it could be that expensive.

    Got the ignition switch replaced and tested this morning. Everything works. Started the engine, on/off and kill switch all normal. Gonna wash it tonight and get some video of the engine running. Then I'll place the ad. Sad to see the little boat go. It's served us well.

    I need both knees replaced, but I have to get my BMI down quite a bit first. :sneaky:

    I'm starting to feel a little optimistic about the market. I put out a listing 8 days ago and got the first nibble this afternoon. :D I have another listing to place soon. It should move faster. I hope. 😄

    Yeah, I look forward to finally getting after this little project too! The only things I've done so far are to remove the seats from the donor and get its trailer registered. I've been busy getting the Chief and KF ready for sale. The Chief ad has been out there for a week now and is getting...
