Ok wow where to start yet again , bought my boat and merc 1400 a week ago , ran good , then died/ sezied , replaced impeller and got the motor running , its peeing , running pretty good , but no reverse or nutral , so i take the lower unit back off , to find the shif shaft end is broke off, looks like it was welded on np you say get a new shift shaft?
THE NIGHTMARE
the motor is not a 1400 , their is no serial number , the power head is not a 1400 and the shop dosent know what it is he said maybe a 135? but you can see where they took a grinder to the block and shift linkage to get the motor to clear , now i have no clue what parts to get , the lower unit is a 1400 lower unit the impeller kit was right now my question is , is that shift shaft gonna be for the motor serial number or parts from the lower unit? also if i get that shift shaft out and its for a ????? power head im sure it wont line up with the 1400 LU but i noticed ther was an extension shift, i could get a new one machined to match the ???? side and the 1400 side
and now how hard is it to get the shift shaft out ? i have a basic book with exploded pic but dosent really show how to take it out
also can someone please give a serial number for a 1400 (79 140hp) so i can look at an exploded few on mecrury parts express of the shift shaft
