    Mercruiser bearing carrier tool

    I never said I’m pulling the gimbal bearing, I’m pulling the bearing carrier. I wound up drilling it out to remove it, thanks for everyone’s suggestions

    Mercruiser bearing carrier tool

    I bought this bearing carrier tool and am having a difficult time using it, it seems to slip off as I’m putting pressure on it. Is there any remedy to use it so it doesn’t slip? Or am I looking at drilling it out?

    Mercruiser out drive compatibility

    Ok, so if I just use the lower unit of the outdrive from my original outdrive I’ll be all right? The gear ratio is determined by the upper unit of the outdrive correct?

    1957 Johnson 18hp.

    I’ll remove the prop to look at the shear pin, I wouldn’t think I would have any rotation if the shear pin was broke, the motor has been on the pontoon for 40 years, I don’t think it’s a issue with the transom height
