The bushing isn't a bushing it's there to stop the rubber from falling all the way down.
​It goes on, cup side up.
The rubber goes on with the lip up.​.
The rubber really doesn't matter as long as it's there.
It's a grease shield, keeping the grease in, on the splines.
Use lot's of grease.
Marine grease.

Go to: boatsdotnet Mercury parts section.
Top section and index Chrysler and open the corresponding year.

It always helps if you include the year, hp, model# and serial #

They made the 140 for 7 years.
And lots of changes between the years.

I dropped lower unit to chk impellor...the upper shaft seal fell out. Cannot tell from schematic which way to put it on - its a cylinder with "bulb" at one end.
I can post pic on Flikr or YT.

@jerryjerry05
Thanks a BUNCH.
my missuse of words...figured it was a stop and lucky I deducted lip/bulb side should be up.
BTW. This old guy is having a BEAST of a time getting spline in (and shifter to some extent). Its HEAVY...I have rigged up supports. But no luck yet...
Ah I can add pics later...

Jerry your info and encouragement really helped. I made sure the prop was on gear and turn it and the spline popped and shifter too!!

This was a wild goose chase ( good experience) the impellor was fine.
I will check the water intakes for dirt and tell-tale.
I could not fit small muffs over the intake and in a bucket my neighbour could not see water...did not want to burn it up do I shut down.
Try it again tomorrow.

IF??? you had the impeller out and you don't know how old it is??
Then change it!!
The bucket needs to be DEEEEP.
​It needs to cover the cavitation plate by 3-4in.
The pump won't pickup the water unless it's over the pump housing.

The muffs, I use duct tape on them to insure a good seal.
The lower needs to be dry and oil free.
LOTS of water pressure.
It has access to millions of gallons in the lake. But only a few on the hose.
So turn it up.

PS One year late. TY I did get the shaft in after your guidance on the seal. I tend to get lost in the matrix, but NO EXCUSES for not saying TY.
