While out Sunday our 2002 2 stroke 40hp Mercury ELPTO died. While it hasn't been torn apart yet to see the actual damage I am pretty sure we need to find a new one. We couldn't even spin the starter with a rope and doesn't turn when bumped with the key. Just before she went we heard a funny sound we had never heard before. It didn't sound like metal on metal but was like a clunking sound. Then she died. Thank goodness we had SeaTow, otherwise it would have cost us 900 bucks to be towed back in.
Anyways I am searching for a motor to put on. I have seen a couple but they had no lower units. So my question is about finding a lower unit and if mine is still good what motors can it be used on ? Hope that makes sense.
Also will the controls I have work on any mercury or certain models ? Is there a lookup for that ?
Thanks. Still depressed so brain not working properly.
