    Mercury crankshaft?

    Is is possible that if you had 3 top crank shaft seals fail and now a lower unit that threw a gear, that maybe the crankshaft is out of balance or bent? Just not sure what could be causing my issues. Prop shaft is perfect.

    Re: Mercury crankshaft? (southparks)

    Anything is "possible"... but it would be easier to determine if it's "likely" if we could have a little more information:

    What engine (preferably including the Serial #):

    What WOT RPM are you achieving:

    What PROP are you running:

    A little more history on the seals/failures:
