Hey everyone,
a buddy gave me his old outboard and i am in the process of replacing the crank seals. I pulled the flywheel off and the upper crank seal was pretty easy todo. What I would like to know is how do I do the lower crank seal. Can the engine be removed from its house/frame or is this a very long process ? What are the steps .. I'v found a service manual but it dosnt seem to cover overhauls :/ http://boatinfo.no/lib/mercury/manuals/6-8-99-10-15.html#/0
Love to hear what other people have done.
Here is my project page, fixed the ignition last night http://www.kingbain.com/how-to-repair-a-mercury-ignition/
