Need flywheel key for a Merc 200

[BSDenning]

Hello,

Does anyone have a suggestion on where I can find a flywheel key for a 20 hp merc 200? I believe it is a 1979. It doesn't look like iboats carries that part.

Thanks

My flywheel key came in the mail today. Does anyone know the correct torch for the flywheel nut?

The manual up to 1968 shows 780 " lbs. I am looking to see if I can find a later one.

Yeah, I saw the same thing about 780 inch pounds for 1968, but I can't find 1979. I'm worried that it may have changed when they went to electronic ignition instead of the old points and condensors.

I buy keys in bulk form Harbor freight all shapes and sizes. (There in FL)

hmmm... not a bad idea. I should look into that.

I still haven't been able to find the correct torque for the flywheel nut. Can anyone suggest some avenues to research this? Where can I purchase a service manual for this motor?

Thanks

I guess no one knows the answer to this question.
