Reply To: MARK 55 CLUNKS WHEN SHIFTING

THANK YOU FOR THE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. I DON’T USE GEAR OIL IN THE LOWER UNIT, I USE GREASE AS PRESCRIBED BY MERCURY. THE CORNHEAD GREASE IS A SUITABLE SUBSTITUTE FOR THE 105 GREASE THAT IS BECOMING HARDER TO COME BY AND MORE EXPENSIVE AS WELL. IT’S A MOOT POINT THOUGH AS THERE IS 105 GREASE IN IT NOW. I AM NOT EXPERIENCING ANY CHATTERING SO THAT IS NOT AN ISSUE. IT SOUNDS LIKE I’LL JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO THE CLUNKING, BUT I THINK I’LL TRY AN ALUMINUM PROP TO SEE IF THAT HELPS. I ALMOST HOPE NOT AS THE BRASS PROP LOOKS REALLY NICE WHEN IT IS ALL SHINED UP.

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HELP.
