With the prop removed, you will expose the bearing carrier retaining nut. This nut must be removed, (screwed out of the housing), it has righthand threads. With a puller, the carrier can now be removed from the gear housing. The propshaft seal(s) can now be removed, and replaced with new. Be sure to replace the carrier o-ring while you have the carrier out. Use a sealer, such as gel seal on the outside edge of your prop seals when you install them. Also, don't be afraid to use some grease when you reinstall the carrier and retaining nut.

How do you flush out a 9.9hp mercury outboard?

The 9.9 hp Mercury outboard requires a special flusher, and removal of the propeller is suggested for ease of installation. You can use a regular flusher if you position it just right, (the water pick-up is located underneath the anti-ventilation plate, above the prop), but I find it easier to use a barrel or waste can.

How do you replace propeller seal on 15 hp mercury?

To replace the propeller seal on a 15 HP Mercury outboard, first ensure the engine is off and securely supported. Remove the propeller by loosening the prop nut and sliding the prop off the shaft. Next, take out the old seal from the propeller shaft housing and clean the area. Install the new seal, making sure it fits snugly, then reassemble the propeller and nut, ensuring everything is tightened properly before testing the motor.


I have a 60 hp mercury outboard The bottom tip of the skeg was broken off about 2 to 2 12 It does not seem to be effecting handling or performance is it necessary to try to fix it?

It's good to repair it as it protects your lower unit and prop. However it won't affect handling. It is not a rudder, it is a prop protector.

How do you remove the thrust washer from a 1997 Force outboard motor?

To remove the thrust washer from a 1997 Force outboard motor, first ensure the motor is securely tilted and supported. Then, remove the propeller by unscrewing the prop nut and sliding the prop off the shaft. Once the propeller is removed, you can access the thrust washer; gently pry it off the shaft using a flat-head screwdriver or a similar tool, being careful not to damage the surrounding components. If it's stuck, applying a little penetrating oil may help loosen it.
