850 Merc

Is this damaged replacement unit gear ratio correct?

 

[jimmbo]

A I-6 wont work as ratio..need a 4 cylinder unit from a: 650/75/80/85/800/850

It will fit, and it will work, but the Prop will need to be a lower Pitch being a 2:1 ratio vs. 2.3:1 for the original case

 

[Faztbullet]

It will be slow out of hole and water sports out of question unless propped really low. Be there,done that and don't work worth a dang.

Derekc294----Are you now trying to repair your own lower unit ?------If so are you familiar with shimming the replacement gears ?

 

[Derekc294]

I’m looking for someone locally to swap everything to the lower unit case. I don’t want to take the chance buying something used since everything seems way overpriced. A lot of the ones I’m seeing on EBay look like they wouldn’t be just install and go they look like scrap. Unless I’m not looking at the right parts or searching with the right words.

The bare lower I bought was sandblasted and is the correct one so now it’s a matter of just swapping the internals

 

[Faztbullet]

Let me check the shed as have about a dozen I-line units ….

??? there will be more work involved then "just swapping the internals"

 

[Faztbullet]

Have several... Use PMs please .

 

[Derekc294]

Faztbullet I think I sent you a PM. I’m pretty terrible at navigating the site.
thanks again everyone

 

[Derekc294]

Should I use the same type of prop or switch it up? Prop says D170 on the side. What would I switch to for more top end?

 

[Faztbullet]

Will let you know Monday....

Does this forum have a classified section that I’m missing?

 

[Derekc294]

Well, I found a guy in Kenosha Wisconsin who can swap it all over for me. No luck finding a used lower. I have to wait until Saturday to drop it. Said it would take a few days... I’ll post back, wish me luck

Can't miss something we don't have, Derek. The forums are a service of iBoats, a marine retailer.

 

[Derekc294]

Thank you GA. I was looking on the site and couldn’t find lower units for sale. I know it’s older but wasn’t sure if they were being sold.

 

[Derekc294]

I think what confused me was the boats for sale area. My error.

 

[Derekc294]

Faztbullet have you had any luck with checking your stock? I’m trying to avoid this long drive this weekend if I can, if you could let me know one way or the other I’d appreciate the help.

Does anyone have the information on how to shim the lower to put it back together?
