Hi Aidan,
I can share several PDF Mercury Manuals if you want to PM me your e-mail address.
They are very large files; large enough to require use of a file transfer service for me to send them to you (They are loo large to go through most e-mail systems.)
File transfer services are free. I use WETRANSFER.
Working on Automatic transmission Mercurys is easier than many people make it out to be….yet way harder than other people make it out to be. It would be great if:
- Your motor is not a salt water motor.
- You have someone locally to you that has done it before and can be there with you on the first attempt.
- You have access to the special tools that Mercury supplied for these repairs…..or are able to make your own tools.

Seakaye,
Thank you for being willing to share your resources. I have some connections with more Mercury-based people who may be able to give me a hand. From what I can tell, this motor has not been a saltwater motor, as there are no visible signs of corrosion on the powerhead, or body at all. Just typical paint fading and wearing. I don’t have any tools, but if I can make them, I certainly will.
Aidan
The PDF’s will show the tools and how they are used. Hopefully someone you know has the tools; no point in re-inventing the wheel.
The pic shows the home-made tool fabricated from a piece of galvanized pipe.

I make tools from time to time, some for the two KF-7’s I’ve had. None were as elaborate as yours. Pretty sophisticated work I’d say. I’m impressed!!!
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
