Hey everyone, I have two old Mercs that I want to get rid of.<br />1. '71 Merc 500 50 Hp. Elec. start. I have had this engine for the last 15 years, powerhead is cracked, lower unit is good. I Also have a wiring harness for this engine.<br /><br />2. Mid '60's Merc 650 65 Hp. Pull start. engine will not crank. Lower unit seems good, prop turns. I picked this up out of my neighbors back yard, hoping there would be some useable parts for the above engine...just about everything b/w the two motors was different! <br /><br />I'm wondering if anyone might be interested in these as they are waiting for spring and a new life as part of my mooring OR the dump.

I honestly didn't think anyone would be interested in them since they're both siezed & haven't ran in 6 years. But I know from past experience parts for the '71 were difficult to come by.

Do you still have the "Mid '60's Merc 650 65 Hp".<br />I need a lower unit.

Yeah I still have BOTH engines. The lower unit on the 65 isn't perfect!!! There is a 'half moon' shaped piece missing from the top left fin. The lower part of the skeg is gone too. I had the original two blade prop until last month...damn thieves!

If no one is interested in these after april 15 and Ebay then they're in the garbage.
