Where to begin....
Have the motor off to the rebuild shop and now working on the lower unit while I have everything torn apart. Last season the boat would motor/boat would jerk quite severely under load/throttle and after reading a few forums this seems to be from bad shift adjustment and/or clutch dog gears slipping. Because the place ripped me off so bad on a trailer to get the boat around on, I had them send me a supposed "good" extra lower unit for it. So I am lucky I guess in the fact that the clutch dogs should be in the lower unit. So the plan is to put back in the rebuilt motor and attach this lower unit to the existing drive and pray everything works all summer our first time out.....
Ok, so the model plate identification tab on the shifter housing in the engine bay is ripped in half of course so I don't have the model number. The plate on the side of unit ( pic attached ) says 983486 but not getting that to pull up on searches. I think I am dealing with an OMC Stringer but beyond that I don't have much knowledge so far
Any help with any of these following needs for the action plan would be awesome!
Needs:
Need to figure out model numbers so can do the water impeller while I am at this whole mess.
What parts do I need to order for water impeller replacement and where?
Actually, What parts do I need to order to replace the lower unit? Any gaskets? rings that a guy should do while in there? Any kits anyone know of?
Think I just have the shifter cable to get out left to take ( think call the lower and upper unit ) off. Need to find last retaining clip. Think under side when motor all the way raised?
Does the piece that (what I maybe incorrectly calling the upper unit) bolts to the upper unit need to come off to do the water impeller?
Again, Thanks a bunch for help with a game plan. Almost worn out from fighting to keep this old classic double deck pontoon going each year.
