Is there a way to reinstall this bolt? It would come thru the transom down in the bowels behind the motor so I dont even know if I could see where it goes. Anyone else have this issue. This is on a 1989 mercruser outdrive.
I replaced the water pump in the lower unit and now I have nothing at the prop. I tried the method listed on another page of turning the lower shaft all the way CCW until it clicks and this should have been neutral. But I still have no drive at the prop.I have changed several water pumps and...
I have a 1989 4 cylinder 100 hp that needs a rebuild, I am considering purchasing an already rebuilt unit. With all the different models out there how do I know that I am purchasing the right unit for a bolt on replacement?

Would it be normal to see stress cracks in the gel coat of a 1989 Invader cabin cruser? The cracking is in a radial pattern around the stern drive on the transom.
I see your point, its a money thing. I would never complain about hardware being replaced during a rebuild, especially when the failure results in a sinking boat. The outdrive was rebuilt at the same time.
