Mercury Pee Hole ?

Are the thermostats on these failsafe?

Can the get stuck closed? Do they open and close like it a car or do they just stay ope was you reach operating temp?

thanks

Open and close just like a car. They can also collect muck / corrosion and stop to function.

Especially in saltwater. They're easy to change and the price isn't bad either.

He be correct! Mine is hot as piss...my buddys Johnson is always cool.

That didnt sound right.

It sounded just like you!! Your piss is hot and your buddy has a cold Johnson!!

dropped lower unit yesterday and insttalled new water pump.


I reinstalled the lower unit and it pees water fine, but I don't have any forward or reverse gear. i do have some forward gear if I go all the way forward. Do I have to drop the lower unit again?

It there a easy way to line every thing up? I tired to line up the gear shift in the lower unit but I could not see how to do this.


thanks

Yes, your gonna have to drop the lower again. After you drop it, put the shifter in forward....then on the lower unit rotate the shift shaft, can't remember which way. I want to say that the prop should rotate freely in reverse when its in forward, but it won't rotate in FWD at all. Then reasseble everything. Make sure that the water tube and shift shaft line up while putting all back together.

Good luck

Link help alot.
Will hopefully run the motor tommorow, too late now neighbors will go crazy.

Is there a torque spec for the prop nut? (since there is now saftey pin)

[deshet]

Got it running it is peeing and shifting well.

I am going to install the thermostats but do I really need them?

Should water come out the exhuast ports in the mid section directly below the block?

thanks

[Airslot]

Yes, you need the T-stats, she'll burn cleaner running at the proper temp. Yes, water will come out the exhaust ports in the mid section, I want to say even before it warms up, but its not alot of water on the muffs, probably because there is no backpressure?
