The shift shaft bushing is omc #23-77631A 2, it is a soft aluminum material, unfortunately, which when oxidized sheared easily. It broke when I was attempting to remove it (I have the proper tool). The top of the bushing...

    Mercury Prop - Hub question

    I have a 1984 Mercury 50EL with the stock aluminum prop that has spun the hub. I have a SS 48 76228A-4 13p prop with no hub.

    '74 Evinrude Flooding

    '74 Evinrude 25hp is flooding and won't start. This engine has sat up for probably 15 years. I've gone over it and done the typical inspections and maintenance. Now when I finally tried to crank it for the first time it flooded immediately. I installed a new float valve when cleaning the...

    75hp outboard bogging issue

    I have a 2000 Mercury 75ELPTO that cranks right up, idles fines, runs great, but over 5000 rpm it will run for a minute then have a bog. Then it runs fine for half a minute, then bog, over and over. I am assuming it's fuel starvation, the engine still seems smooth so it's not loosing a cylinder...

    1959 Memp AP1455

    What make is this boat? The title says YEAR-1959 MAKE-Memp MODEL-AP1455 LENGTH-18'7" . I haven't received the boat yet to measure it but it looks like a 14' if you look at the privacy fence. Which would make sense with the model number. I can't find anything on the make though. Any help...

    1971 Evinrude Fisherman Cover Seal

    I have a '71 Evinrude 6hp Fisherman (6102G) that I've been working on. I would like to replace the hood seal. The original seal is white which would be nice, but that doesn't really matter. I just want one that is flexible and seals properly. I have been unsucessful searching for one. My random...
