I am in the process of replacing\repairing the water pump kit on my '86 800 series Mercury outboard. This is my first time trying to DIY and was wondering if anyone had suggetions or ideas on how far to go in the cleaning of all around the shaft and empty spaces. When i removed the LU, the impeller and outer housing were in really bad shape.I have ordered the complete kit, thanks to MarineEngine.com and will be here shortly. Just trying to get a jump on the task and do it the right way the first time and hopefully not damage anything else.
