I got rid of my old boat and bought a used astroglass with a merc 150. this was a merc 200 but previous owner blew up the 200 and had a 150 powerhead built for it and put on old lower unit. the lower unit is a 6413891 which if i found the correct info should be an 1983. how can i go about finding the powerhead year model for sure, he says 91 but you know how that goes. also my main question is this boat needs a water pump. in the johnson forums on hear i found step by step pictures and instructions when i put a pump in it. i did a search in the merc forum but couldnt find exactly what i was looking for. can someone send me a link for this info? i do not have a manual. also should i order water pump for 83 200hp? or 91 150hp?
thanks , ive always gotten good info on here , i know yall wont let me down!

Shift linkage is on a splined shaft. Nothing to disconnect. The impeller should be ordered for the L/U (1983).

A factory service manual would be a very worthwhile investment.

hope it helps
