When you do it, you get a master’s degree in water pump replacement. And patience. It is best if you have some special tools. Some guys have made their own, although I am not recommending that. Any short cut you try to take will end up biting you in the rear end; believe me. Like Dave said, get the manual, too. I own around thirty Mercury engines with this type of pump/transmission set up. The SHORTEST time I ever spent on one was nine hours, to truly do it right. But don’t let all this negativity bring you down. When they are right, they run well and are a pleasure to use. The unique transmission is something everybody in this hobby should experience. Don’t be afraid to ask more specific questions, if and when you proceed.
Long live American manufacturing!
