Hello,
Please dont flame me for where i bought parts.... for now, i will most likely get all my stuff from euro marine...
So i recently acquired what is a 1982 Mercury BM 150hp sn# 6101202 / '82 merc 150 b-max, boat hasnt run for years
So i bought a water pump from scamazon based on the merc p/n kit.
It doesnt fit. The water pump base gland that retains the o-ring is too large, compared to the unit that came out.
I told my buddy the issue & he said, are you sure the whole lower unit is original & I said no.
The boat was owned by numerous people over the years.
Anyway, the o-ring gland that i pulled out measures ~56.97mm & the kit that came measures ~59.62
The new kit looks very similar & bolt holes lined up, etc... However the o-ring gland is too large.
Where can I get / locate this gland dimension or see a cross reference of such?
What is the proper gland diameter for a 1982 Mercury BM 150hp sn# 6101202 ?
I dont know if the lower unit / water pump assembly is original for the '82 merc 150hp BM or not, that is why i ask about the gland diamaters.
Looking to the members for advice. TIA
