Re: Bellows Replacement

Also a plastic connector on the end of a small tube that runs along the water pickup tube and connects to the lower unit is broke and I don't know where to find one. .

Re: Bellows Replacement

Well I planned on replacing the water pump impeller so I'll have the lower unit apart anyways. I just keep finding more and more that needs replaced.

So i guess in the that link I would need 26? Is that it, I already have a water pump impeller kit so I should have the seal assy right?

Re: Bellows Replacement

After looking at the prices, I think I would buy a used GPS:facepalm:. Yeah if that is all that is broken, I would make do with #26.

Re: Bellows Replacement

After looking around some it seems like engines from my era should have come with the butterfly flapper but I pulled out the other kind from my exhaust bellows. I want to order one but the engines they list it for are much different than mine. I also didn't find the rod that holds it in place, will it be in the lower unit?

Re: Bellows Replacement

I just looked at MercuryParts based on my serial number I should have a butterfly shutter. But that is not what I just pulled out of my exhaust bellows.

Also is there one or two shutters?

Here is a pic of what I just removed. The part number that my serial number says I should order is 807166A 3. They don't look the same.

it superceeds to a new style flapper that has a plastic frame that clips into the holes in the y-pipe

The cool thing is that you have the part number clearly stamped on the part. Just type it in here and you will see that dubs is correct. Just for your peace of mind http://www.mercruiserparts.com/partsByNumber.asp

Re: Bellows Replacement

I mean I did see the part number, but it was different than what the mercruiser numbers use. But thanks for the replies. Just didn't make sense to me I guess.

Re: Bellows Replacement

One more question, not done yet. Been very busy and a little under the weather but just about there. My question is how important is the shift cable gimble housing eyelet. Because I forgot to put it on and I'm not removing everything to do it. I can't believe it is super important and I don't remember if I removed one initially or not. Thanks again.
