Mercury 50 hp 4 cyl. about a '74 model I changed the impellar myself for the first time. It was hard getting the impellar into the housing..but it's in. I don't think you can put one in upside down...yes, I did turn it clockwise. I'm not sure of the little 2" tubing that I had to slip back under the housing water pump, and under that little tubing was a little rubber o ring. Anybody live close to Gadsden, Al?? Any suggestions? Thanks

I've got an old 15' run-about with a 50hp merc outboard(76ish serial#7174779). It has the old clothes line type steering. I want to replace the steering system with teleflex. Ive been told they offer a kit that includes everything including a new steering wheel, but I cant find a part number on their web site. I figure I need a 12' cable. I come up with kit #SS14112 but it doesnt include steering wheel. I guess what I want to know is this the right system for my boat and does a kit including steering wheel exist? Also I was told I will need an oem adapter for the motor. Is this accurate. I've spoke to a couple dealers but they don't stock anything and quite honestly they didn't seem to know any more than me about it. Also does anyone know any place in the Toronto Ontario area that may stock it. I'd hate to order it and find out its wrong. TIA Mike
