85 HP Force cone

[MWBROWN]

I have a 1984, 85 HP Model 856x4l, sn 3151 Force engine. When I installed the prop after having it rebuilt, I stripped the thread where the long screw goes through the cone that covers the prop nut. Is there a part number on proper name for this. My Seloc manual is not clear on this.<br /><br />Thanks again.

Not sure which part you are looking for, but any Mercury dealer carries them, maybe not in stock, but can get them from Mercury.

I have seen the cone installed on older Cheysler motors. Are they needed at all?

I did find out what part it is, and I am able to buy one. Roscoe was correct, the part is listed in the Mercury site, but not availble. I did find at another source. Thanks.<br /><br />I think the design intent is to keep the nut that holds the prop from comming off. I see no other reason for it. I would think a cotter pin would have been simpler. LOL
