Gary;

Your s/n comes up as a model:

1200422PD MERCURY 1994 200

Parts Listing:

http://www.crowleymarine.com/mercury-outboard/556.cfm

Service Manual P/N: 90-824052

You must have Adobe Acrobat reader installed to use this manual. If you scroll down to the lower part of the opening page, you will see the various engine components in red. Click on the one you want and when the first page opens, click on the "Save As" icon at the top LH corner of the page and you can save it to your computer.

If you have the RH rotation LU, you will see the installation procedure under Section 6, Right Hand Rotation, page 6A-56

If you try to gently rotate the prop in it's present state, will the prop turn one way or the other or both directions freely?

Gerry,
the prop rotates freely? In both directions?
