Finally a video without bs. Very easy to follow. Thank you

Thanks D Ray, the video helped me a lot in replacing my impeller and pump kit. Great job!

Saw your videos and followed your directions. Noting the shifter position when reinstalling was challenging when putting the lower unit back on. But got it. Your videos were great and spot on. Thanks so much. Made this so much easier for my 50 hp 2003 Mercury 2 stroke water pump impeller change.

Thanks for the straight forward instrucrion on the water pump. I'm now ready to grab my tools and install the pump I bought

D-Ray, thank you for the information on the water pump replacement, man you are good !

D-Ray , thank you for a great video where you showed how easy the job is. Your very good at this video thang

Good stuff D-Ray!

Outstanding ! Thanks man 💯

Thanks Jeff!

Thanks for the video brother. Save my dad and me a lot of headache. Of course with my luck we pulled her all apart and foind out the guy at the marina gave us the wrong part. Seems to just be our luck. But thanks for the video anyways. It was done really well.

:D now thats an intro cheers

I have a 96 50hp mercury 2 stroke. I am about to embark on this repair I appreciate the work you do and even though it's not the same motor in sure a lot of the same principles apply. Thank you.

Great video. Getting ready to do mine.. ice help.

Thanks you are the man

i love your video ,i have a 2005 mercury outboard similar to that one , thanks for all your help , can you tell me if the water out the pee hole gets hot fast is that normal i put a new thermostat on it ,water still gets hot fast .

thanks bud.. looks like a piece of cake...

Question? There is a small hole to the right of the vent plug on my 2001 2 stroke 50 hp. Is that hole supposed to have some sort of plug in it? I don’t remember water shooting out of there last Summer when I would run it on the muffs. This Summer I’ve developed an overheat alarm at low idle whether on muffs or in the water. Good tell tale and new t-stat also this year. Alarm stops at just above idle. I’ve also back flushed everything with a garden hose through the t-stat opening. Same problem.

Hello - Quick question on the impeller housing bolts You use anti-seize...with galvanic corrosion concern’s, what type of anti-seize did you use? Why not thread locker?

Was going to take the lower unit off and send it in for repair (remote island) but while watching your video around the 47 second mark, figured out that the shift rod does not move up and down on this one. It stays stationary no matter what position the shiftier is in unlike yours. That should tell me something, but I don't know what. Any ideas?.... Thanks.

good video question ? what size of propeller tou habe installed??? for this motor 50hp thank you

I have the same motor and I took it to a shop and had it put in and it's has lil water coming out when sitting still but when I give it gas it pees more is that normal

Is this something I can do while my boat is docked in the water?

cool, its been a while, so does everyone agree on replaceing impeller every 3rd year or what, thanks for the video

hey d-ray i am looking for a stainless prop for the exact same motor what are you running on this boat?

I just replaced my water pump kit ordered from this description. Seemed to match perfectly. . I have a 40hp tracker Mercury 2002/2003. Put everything back how it came off and re connected shift linkage but now my motor doesn’t find the neutral although throttle is in neutral. Previously anywhere in neutral I could start. Now I have to move the throttle super slow in the neutral gear back and forth in its play room while holding key turned and sometimes it starts and sometimes it’s just dead and never attempts to turn. It doesn’t attempt to crank at all till it finds a spot in the neutral while holding key turned to start. so it never cranks till finds a spot moving throttle back and forth in neutral, then it does sometimes and cranks and starts. Any ideas?

Does it make a difference if its a tiller on 96 merc

ah the secret nut under the trim tab the destructive end to most lower units

Can u made video how to do 2008 mercury 50hp oil change pls thanks

Damn it i just ok'd a repair shop to do the job!

I have the same damn motor but that shift rod coupler is not there. I’ve looked and looked, but that sob isn’t there. I’ve done many many many impellers and I know where it’s supposed to be for the life of me it’s not there. I’ve even taken the whole mid cowling apart trying to find it but no dice.

D-Ray -- helpful video...saved me some time today...thanks. Question: did you finish your shop construction? What's with all the fir-out pieces?

What size prop on that motor

Easy to remove once you know :-)) A "Nifty Shifty Shift Shaft" say that when youve had too many beers he he :-))

cold one.... on it :D shit dude... im on the edge of my seat... kinda like love to woman?

What year is that motor? What year range Mercury 50 2 strokes does that process apply to?

I'd better not...lol!

MINE HAVE A COPPER TUBE FOR WATER WERE IS YOURS
