Watch my video on thermostat replacement. What my problem ended up being
was that i had a bad thermostat. When I removed the thermostat I found that
there was a bunch of weeds and sand clogged inside. Once I replaced the
thermostat I was back in action.
Great help mate…I’d look everywhere then found your video….excellent.
Some design engineer needs to get a simpler life…can you imagine why this
has been set up this way….sheeeeesh! Thanks David Perth West Australia
When l go back to my sons to work on the motor l will try to make a video
and if there is a deference being my is an 89 and yours 99 l will post the
findings.
Thanks for the upload man! Im just about to change the impeller on my 97
15hp and its the same way 🙂
ls’int there a clip or keeper on the other side of the arm that keeps the
pin shaft in place once it’s put back in, l see something that looks liked
a spring clip on the other side. l haven’t been back to my sons house to
take down the lower unit since l saw your video, will post the results.
Thanks again
Good luck. Let me know if I can assist in any way.
Thanks. Great help.
Thanks a bunch, all the videos say remove the bolts and just pull the lower
case, well not exactly with the Merc, thanks again.
The small Mercury outboards from this era have an integrated
shift/throttle. Once you know how to disconnect the linkage, the lower unit
disassembly is quite easy.
Thanks for the video this is just what l was looking for, have the same
motor but it’s a 1988 15hp long shaft with the same linkage hook up, did
you remove the starter l don’t seen to have as much room as l’m seeing in
your video, Thanks for posting
Good video! I couldn’t figure out how to remove the shifter linkage.
Definitely cleared things up and my 94 merc 9.9 runs like a dream.
Thanks Jim. I should have come here first. Wasted two hours trying to
figure out how to get that shift rod off. Broke the linkage rod in the
process.
once you generate some income you might be able to afford a camera man
Thanks man. This video was a little dark but you got the main explanation
across.
I don’t have it apart right now, but I don’t think there is any other clip
to retain the shaft other than the shift shaft retainer.
I agree with the last post, wtf why does it have to be so complicated?
Yes, I had to remove the starter before getting down in there.
Thanks a lot, just what I needed.
Jim, did the impellor replacement fix the problem? I have the same issue.
Thank you!!! Took awhile but found the clip down behind the starter
solenoid on my 1996 mercury 25hp… 2 thumbs up!!
I have been looking all over for this info. Thanks, you made is so easy for
me to understand.
Thanks Jim! I am replacing my water pump on a 15hp merc. I was not sure how
to drop the lower unit. The manual does not explain it very well in regards
to the shaft retainer. Your video made it a breeze!
Very helpful indeed. Just what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing. the
knowledge.
I just tried to fix my 9.9 and droped the motor and would only drop 2
inches . Went online again and found your clip . I will try it out tonight
. Its nice to see people out there doing what your doing . Thanks and bless
you
