Hi All,
I'm putting a 50hp Mercury (early 80s - 83 maybe) back on my grandfather's boat. It's been off since 2000. I've attached everything and just finished the cables. Before I attached the cables it was in neutral and the prop spun both ways like it should. I would click it into reverse and it would spin (along with the power head) properly. However, when I put it in forward, I'm hearing a clicking noise and the power head isn't turning. Same happened when I attached the cables.
Any thoughts?
Secondary, the serial number is 6224664. Anyone know the year?
Thank you in advance.
