Hi Guys

New boy here. My sister in law has bought her husband a boat here in France with the above engine. Unfortunately it appears it has seized in the starboard position. I am a marine engineer but stuck in Germany so its a bit difficult over the phone to help. We are unsure of the year but we think around 2001 for the build date. Does anyone have an exploded diagram of the swivel section or something generic?
They disconnected the morse type cable and the steering wheel and cable move freely so i assume (!) its seized inside the engine swivel. I recommended re greasing and lifting the engine beyond the normal tilt to allow more ingress along with some localised moderate heating. Anything else we can try??


Great forum by the way and many thanks.

Matt

Yes Boats.net has pretty good diagrams. Or Mercury outboards website.
