The Mark 6 is one of those Mercs that gave all Mercs a bad name. It’s a tough motor to work on, in almost every aspect. Dave is right; you can take the carb off without removing the power head.
As for the piece holding you back, if you have really given it everything you have, you might consider getting a ratty parts motor and saw it apart, to save that one piece; then saw and split the one piece off your good motor. Since the lower units are often junk on these motors, finding a ratty parts donor shouldn’t be a problem.
The good news is that, when you’re FINALLY done, they run great….just as smooth and quiet as any OMC ever was.
Long live American manufacturing!
