hi, everyone :) , ive just joined this great site and i hope i can get a little advice.
i am brand new to boating and i have a problem with my mercury 4hp 2 stroke
the propeller shaft is bent and i cant see how to remove it, i have removed the gearbox from the engine and i have removed the propeller and the big plastic threaded retainer 'thing' behind it, which allows the bearing case to come out,now what?:confused:
is there a diagram online maybe?
any help would be much appreciated
thanks Grant

Hi,
The nylon spanner nut has to come out. You can make a spanner wrench.
Do a search for a parts diagram. I use crowleymarine for pictures of things.
I am sure there are a lot of them out on the net. I just haven't looked for them.
mercury outboard parts will get you a lot of choices.

thanks:), ive now got the water pump off and removed the circlip above the driveshaft bearing, so now i can see the propshaft bearing from the front and the driveshaft bearing from the top, but still cant see how to remove either shaft, :confused:, in fact do have to remove the driveshaft in order to get the propshaft out?
