Folks,<br /><br />Have enjoyed the numerous topics and threads. I am a novice at mechanical things but feel the need to at least do some of the basic maintenance on my 1994 Mercury 25 outboard. Hope someone can help. <br /><br />Replaced the water pump and now there is a grinding sound when the forward and reverse gears are engaged. Appears to run fine once in gear. Any ideas as to how to fix this....as it did not do this before.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />VKS
