Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this lower unit fits my engine?
Check your engine's serial number against the ranges in the "Engine & Model Compatibility" table. You must also confirm your outboard requires a 25" (Extra Long) shaft and has a 2.33:1 gear ratio. The original OEM part number should be 1667-9011J41.
What are the signs my existing lower unit is failing?
Common symptoms include a grinding or clunking noise during shifting or operation, metal shavings in the gear lube (a small amount is normal, but large flakes are a bad sign), water in the gear lube (appearing milky or cloudy), or a bent/damaged propeller shaft.
Is the water pump and impeller included?
Yes, this is a complete assembly that includes a new, pre-installed water pump and impeller. No need to purchase these separately.
What kind of gear lube should I use?
Always use a high-quality marine gear lubricant recommended for your Mercury outboard. Check your engine's service manual for the specific weight and type (e.g., 80W-90 High Performance Gear Lube).
