    War with lower unit

    Re: War with lower unit As for the water pump, something didn't sit right with me about this so I started looking for OEM pictures of the original. It looks to me like a chunk of plastic from the pump housing has melted down into the pump around the drive shaft, though if so it left a...

    War with lower unit

    Re: War with lower unit Update: I got the shift shaft separated and it cleaned up pretty well except for the splines on what seems to be the smaller stainless(?) section. How can I protect what's left of these? what's the best anti-seize application for us on this coupler?

    Adding Power Trim

    Re: Adding Power Trim I switched out the one on the right with the one on the left. Aside from the swivel & brackets, the rest of the mount is entirely different.

    War with lower unit

    Re: War with lower unit Ahhh thanks Gerry, for a while I was thinking the gearbox needed some odd lock to keep it in reverse, but that makes more sense. LOL Thanks for the suggestion Maxz and in fact everyone. I think I will try and pull the whole rod out. It looks like the attachment on the...

    War with lower unit

    Re: War with lower unit OK so although I'm not %100 certain what I'm seeing here, it appears as though the shift shaft is indeed seized up hard. There is a lot of spline beneath the coupling which makes me think I've not yet pulled it up through, but I'm not certain. Heres a couple of pics...

    War with lower unit

    I've started attempting a lower unit rebuild on a 1975 Merc 850. I've read a bunch of related threads and was prepared for a struggle with the probability that the drive shaft is corroded to the crank. It came down around 1/4" and then stopped. Using the wedging principal, some elbow grease and...

    Lower unit question

    Hi folks, long time lurker first time poster here. I have I believe, a 1976 4cyl Merc 850 Canadian serial number 7071854.

I've read a great thread on the disassembly of those, with great input from Frank, but he spoke of shims under the upper bearing on the drive shaft (single...
