i'm thinking about rebuilding my lower unit because of klunking sounds...its not bad right now..just hear 2 klunks when i take off and thats it...but i'm sure it will get worst.....from what i have read here it seems to be the foward gear and dog ear clutch.....
someone mentioned sending both to a machine shop and having them refaced...i work at a place that has a machine shop in house so getting this done would not be a problem.
what i'm wondering is how hard is it pull everything out of the LU and rebuild it...seals..gaskets....then putting it back together...is a clymer manual enough??.can you buy these 2 parts still from mercury?..i'd like to do this for under $300 ..is that possible?i plan on sand blasting case and repainting..whole 9 yds....i will still be looking for an extra LU in case i mess it up.
if anyone has rebuilt these please post your experiences with it...thanks
