Hello everyone!
I'm a member on all other major forums that involve cars,jetskies,snowmobiles.
now that i'm working on my friends outboard engine i decided to register here as well.
he just had a major detonation and i'm doing all the work for him so we can get out there as fast as possible.
center piston hit the head so hard that on impact broke:
while taking everything apart, i realized that this setup is nothing i have ever worked on excpet maybe for bombardier on some parts.
since most of the components are made to be one piece!
I think thats a big disadvantage in servicing!
I ended up getting a good deal on exact same engine with light sieze and water in 3rd cylinder.
so here is the deal, I'm putting 1 complete motor together from 2 broken motors. I'm using the block and cases from the water siezed motor i got, the rest of the stuff i will mix and match to make complete, and ebay left overs most likely
tomorrow I'm dropping the block to get honed and cleaned as well as the crank to get trued and cleaned as well, might also consider changing the bearings if i can match them at the local bearing shop as i have always done with my other rebuilds, except that this mercury bearings are bigger and not sealed: does anyone know what type of general market bearings they are ??
have a couple question to ask:

- connecting rod
- bearing
- damaged cylinder wall
- and shredded the woodrof key, skeeping flywheel tooth and timing i would assume

have a couple question to ask:
- can someone please share service manual that i can refer to for specs??
- can i delete oil pump and just premix on this type of motor/setup??
