In this video I demonstrate the removal a the lower unit followed by the replacement of the water pump. With this particular model engine there was the option for a standard or larger “bigfoot” lower unit which this on is.

Where did you get that base holder for the unit to make repairs easier?
Anyone know what the plate is called at minute 3? The one held on by the bolt that has a wasp nest attached to it.
Does the silicone on the gasket go toward wear plate??
Do you put it in forward gear or leave it in neutral the whole time lmk.
Guy in another video red loctite his housing screws and you lube them. After watching you have to do the cool hammer tap trick I don't want to loctite mine. Thanks for the video.
At 11:19 you say that the seal gasket silicone goes down towards the plate, I seen other video where they put the silicone side gasket facing up, which is the corect way.
So there is no shift shaft to "unlink" up top before bringing down the LU?
What is the best way to flush sand out of a mercury 60 hp 4-stroke? I have sand in my t-stat, thanks for your time.
Hello. it is 4 bolts and a nut , holding that lower unit. I put LU back holding it with just a nut tight, everything works fine shifts in gear prop spinning, then put the rest of the bolts and it doesn’t shift in gear. Any idea?
Excellent presentation!!!
Good video with some valuable steps, my gasket seal side is up towards the housing on my 2017 merc 90 hp 4 stroke eng.
great video, the water from my engine comes out in flots. I have also changed the impeller and the gaskets. Mercury orion 60 hp from 2016
The service manual shows red Loctite on the (4) bolts you were struggling with. Wouldn't some heat be required to loosen those up?
Will be doing this on two motors

Hi Ted. I have enjoyed your video. My 60 merc bigfoot leaks water out from what appears the front of the pump when flushing with the engine opreating or not. I have not dismantled anything yet. From your Merc experience, can you suggest what component might have failed? Note: I have still a good stream from my tell tail
