Bad News: I think the forward gear is possibly stripped on my 2003 25hp Mercury EL. Just bought the boat from a buddy and I knew the prop was out of center. I started hearing a slapping noise the past two times I was out on the Jon Boat. Not only is the prop shaft bent, but it is also twisted. The noise only sounds in forward, not in reverse. I have looked up the parts on boats.net but also wanted to reach out to the CF community to see if anyone knew where I could buy a lower unit. Help PLEASE!!! Good mechanic NEEDED!!!
chris v…he will fix it for you.
