Does anyone have a part number or a resource for where I can purchase the correct bearing nut retainer tool to remove the spanner nut on a 1968 Merc 1250 lower unit??? It has the 4" diameter nut. Everything I find is for the later (larger) nuts.
Thanks in advance! Great site with great...
Hello all... Hoping to find some info on my old mercs. I have a 1969 125HP that has a great powerhead but the lower unit casing is cracked. I also have a 1974 Merc 115 not running but has a nice lower unit. Will the 1974 gearcase fit the older 1969? I am pretty sure they will swap but...

Anyway, the motors are 100% complete and look really good - all original, very nice...
Hoping you guys can confirm my guess of a bad powerpack on this engine before I go out and buy one...
1983 9.9 Johnson I just bought. Sparking on top cyl only so I switched the orange wires coming from the powerpack to the coils. Low and behold the bottom coil fired up while the top coil lost...
I have two 1993 Mariner Magnum 40 engines that I bought for parts from different individuals. The first engine started making a ton of noise in the powerhead and then owner shut it down. I did a tear down and found one of the reed blocks had come into contact with the crank and tore the steel...
