Mercury Racing parts

[Dave Hensley]

Used to be able to find dealers online like Doller Offshore where you could pull up any Race engine and get the microfiche drawings with all part numbers and prices. Where did they all go? It was real handy.

Bookmark this for the microfiche drawings, then order from boats.net (generally best prices)

We are definitely becoming dinosaurs with the 2.5 stuff. With the Allison's like the 2002, 2003 and 2001 needing the lighter motors and the fact these boats are timeless hopefully parts won't dry completely up.

 

[msethsmile]

I run a 2.4

 

[suicidealli]

Yeah that is old school...

 

[RBT]

I keep reading that parts are drying up..... you can buy EVERY part for 260/280 and drag right to complete motors. Yes you have to buy a mid cowling powerhead and gearcase but FACT is they are readily available.

Yep, just not as many good used parts as there use to be..
Can't get the small hippo rods, and sporty small drive shafts are getting hard to come by. Just costing more money for the new stuff..

The props hafts have superseded, that sucks but there is no good reason to run the small rods.
The ecu,s have superseded too, but the rest is there

848039a84-2.5 DRAG long block

Still Available as are many of the High Performance parts.

 

[Dave Hensley]

So the rods are Chatfield?

5250
Can be made "chatfield" by a few shops
I won't put small rods in my motors

818141A9-supersedes-847522a9-280/260 rod
(MERC NET Part #S)

Would have to verify with Merc High Performance to see if the superseded # is a Chatfield Rod.

Why do you want some microfiche cards?

As far as the rods go I believe there are two, what we would call the light rod being the 260/280 rod and I think all 5250 rods have been sst to the CNC'd rod.

Dave if you need rods I'm having seeveral sets done now.

 

[patches]

Hey Bill, you having big rods done?

 

[BGohr]

yes I am I had 137 5250 rods and figured I needed to do something with them. I just had a set cut with just the outer profile done, thats where all the weight difference is, then I had another set done with just the outer and the inside radius, I'm going to weigh them before and after, just to see what part of the process really matters, doing the flat in the middle does the least, and costs the most really.

Curious to see what they weigh...
