Prop Shaft for 1987 25 HP

[lambertfam]

I've looked around online and can't find a prop shaft for this motor. When I get home I'll call a dealer, but does anyone know of an online dealer that might have this? I'm looking at buying this used motor but according to the owner the shaft is bent so I want to make sure I can find a replacement first.

Thanks!

mercruiserparts.com $223 or crowleymarine.com $275
I had to guess at your model number but you should be able to find the right one at one of these. Could try getting it straightened at a machine shop if it's not too bad. Hope this helps.

What would you say a motor like this is worth?

Mercury 25HP, 1987, long shaft, electric start (I think), with the bent prop shaft.

He is asking $1200 as is but that seems high to me.

What do you think?

I wouldn't pay more than $500 for that motor. It's 21 years old with a bent prop shaft and who knows what else. I would also see and hear it run before I bought it.
