Its an older 65 merc. what am I'm looking at to get this fixed? Anyone? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'm thinking you mean the lower unit prop shaft bearing? front and rear? Why the bearing, was the prop damaged and bent the shaft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I think I would be getting that checked out by a mechanic. What lead to the prop bearings failure? Is there any other damage inside the gear case? ( probably). Have you looked into a used lower unit for that engine? S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
