Re: 1987 85 hp Force parts
oh, by the way ... don't know if you are into it, but everytime I do an impeller I also put in new gearcase seals. It's cheap and easy to do and the results of water in gearcase can be devastating.<br /><br />gearcase spool bolts - AS568A-010<br />gearcase shift rod cover (original) - AS568A-041 <br />gearcase shift rod cover (1st oversize) - AS568A-151<br />gearcase bearing cage - AS568A-139<br />gearcase spool cage (2 req'd) - AS568A-238<br /><br />if you can use quad rings on spool, bearing, and shift cover they will vastly out-seal the original. Use standard buna-n 70 or viton. other materials don't withstand both oil and salt-water.<br /><br />The oil seals are 1.125 x 1.75, two required. One for prop shaft and one for driveshaft. C-R seals use stainless springs and rings - p/n 11138<br /><br />you can buy the mercury seal kit FK1063 for $59.<br />you can buy the exact same thing (buna70 0rings, SB profile oil seals) from american seal and supply -
http://www.amseal.com/ for under $9<br /><br />or you can take the extra money and buy better quality (Quad-rings and TB oil seals) for $19<br /><br />if nothing else, you should spring the extra $5 for -151 and -139 quad rings on shift cover. The aluminum around impeller is rarely in prefect shape and quad rings excel at creating seals between imperfect surfaces.
