Re: Mercury Mark 5 Lower Unit

[Buccaneer]

Hotrod, thanks for the reply. It seems that the prop
shaft wouldn’t have enough support with the
ball bearing so far away from the prop, but guess
Mercury knew what they were doing. Not sure of
the thoughts of guy that put the extra roller bearing
and bushing my Mk5 prop shaft though!
The Mk5 case looks, and measures identical to the
Mk6 case. The Mk6 has spiral gears and a different ratio,
so I’m told I’d have to use the Mk6 prop as well.
Thanks!

Prepare to be boarded!
