Re: Mercury Mark 5 Lower Unit

[Buccaneer]

The number I found on the Mk5 gear case was ME5824,
which doesn’t seem to match up with any of the case
numbers on the Marine Engine.com’s diagrams. I did
find an old listing on EBay using that same number,
and it was listed as a MK 5 housing.
Previous measurements didn’t find any differences between
the Mk5 & 6 gear cases I had, but the Mk 5 does have a thinner
ball bearing, and believe it did have a spacer in that case.
Will double check everything again. Got the two new roller
bearings installed this evening….. so far, so good!
Thanks.

Prepare to be boarded!
