    Disassembly of 2003 Mercury 3.3 HP

    That is precisely what I did and that is exactly what happened. The only question now is just how much of a loser. I'll finish the disassembly between now and the New Year.

    Disassembly of 2003 Mercury 3.3 HP

    If only that were true. The recoil is fine, it's a problem in the power head. I have a copy of the service manual thank you.
