Merc 110 9.8hp Crank and drive shaft

[Encorp]

On my merc110 the splines on the crank and driveshaft are worn away. I took the engine apart and the rest is in perfect shape. I can't find a crank and driveshaft used and the merc dealer says they are not available anymore. One guy said I could weld a socket to the end of the crank and file down the driveshaft to fit the socket. <br /><br /> Anybody have any other ideas that could help me revive this engine?

If you have a buddy with a lathe, he could machine the old splines out and bore it to press fit a deep socket. Then, with a dividing head, he could accurately machine a hex on the shaft. Is it worth it? not if you have to pay a shop....<br />I just did one, but it was on a mint 90HP<br /><br />Have you looked for used parts?

I'd imagine around $150-$200......I did my own, so I didn't price it out. Check around. If its too expensive, let me know And maybe I can do it for you.....

schematic are you serious? I just may take you up on that offer. I see you are in Alberta .. only one border to cross. I check around to get some prices and I'll let you know. If you are serious about doing the work yourself, since I'm only in BC I could send it to you by bus. Like I said I'll check around here first but what would you charge me. <br /><br />I moved here from Saskatchewan back in 1987 and trout are fun to fish for but I sure do miss northern pike and pickerel. Those were the days.<br />In southern BC they don't exist here.
