I just got a Starcraft with a sixty five horse merc, serial number 3001309. I would like to change the impeller, and need to know the year to buy the part. Plus advise changing the impeller. Oh yeah, is there other gaskets for the lower unit.

65 650 (R4) 4-cyl 2997339 3293183 1971 USA

From here:

Mercury 2-takt, 4-cyl, 40 - 85 hp, produktions?r, modellguide

Parts List:

MERC 650 - Mercury, Mercruiser, Force, etc. Parts Lookup

Here is a link to the condensed version of the Clymer service manual. Download it soonest to your computer as the link is short lived:

Small Engine Repair Reference Center Home: MERCURY - MERCURY FOUR-CYLINDER MODELS (1969-1989).


Shift the boat into Fwd and leave it there for re-assembly. When removing the LU try not to disturb the reverse lock cam located on the lower shift shaft splines as this is important for proper re-assembly.
See beginning of LU removal at R&R AND OVERHAUL on page 284 and once LU is removed, go directly to:

To disassemble the drive shaft and
associated parts, reposition gearcase in
vise with drive shaft projecting upward.
Remove rubber slinger (11), water pump
body (16), impeller (19) and impeller drive key (20). That's as far as you have to go to get the impeller changed.

Re-assembly is the reverse.
