Re: 8hp Mariner parts
Roscoe - thanks for the reply.<br /><br />I have dismantled the powerhead due to a slight seizure. Overheating looks to be the problem - impeller is fine but all water passages were blocked with salt.<br /><br />The gaskets I need are all powerhead related - head, thermostat, exhaust chamber x2 and the one between the powerhead and the lower unit.<br /><br />The seals are the ones either end of the crank. The existing crank seals would probably be fine, but I would usually replace such items regardless.<br /><br />I'm hoping that someone does a gasket set (I'm a motorcycle mechanic and one can find aftermarket replacement parts for most bikes).<br /><br />I had a quick browse around the internet for a supplier of gasket sets, but I'm probably not looking in the right places. I can get genuine parts from the local dealer, but the $200NZ they want seems a bit spendy for this application.<br /><br />The other item I need is the prop shaft (sorry if I used non-outboard descriptions). It has corrosion pitting and lets water past the seal into the lower gear casing. The local dealer says $350NZ for this part!<br /><br />Any suggestions would be appreciated.
