Need a 3 litre Merc 250 outboard lower rebuilt in South Fl
 

So we were out running yesterday and I wasnt exactly "Easy" on it, but it ran fine all day. Left lunch, going along at 30, cuz I had a few, 2 miles from the ramp it let go If I shift it without it running prop locks in gear, but when it is running it doesnt spin in gear, checked the splines on the crank seem OK. I removed the lower today and it seems like if I put it in gear, and spin the input shaft, it spins but I get nothing out of the propshaft, but yet, cant spin the propshaft at all when its in gear. I know it needs a propshaft, cuz the previous owner hit something and the splines are slightly twisted. To top it all off, now is a bad time $$wise. Who do ya know that can do a good job for the right $$ down here?? Also, if someone has a used propshaft that might help.

Thanks,

Rick

Mark,

its beyond that. Also, didnt hit anything, just like to run it hard(ask X-Ray50, and TZ Rider:drink:), and it had some previous damage to the propshaft, so probably something that was injured, but not broken completely from when the last guy hit something.

Thanks Paul.

Any idea what the average cost is on these things? I have NEVER blown a drive before:eek:
