Hello everyone, new boat owner, new to the forum.
I have recently acquired a 1989 Astro 16sc with a 1993 Mercury 115 hp 2 stroke. Before I dive to far into this project I removed the lower unit to inspect the impeller. I noticed some small metal shavings on the tops of the lower unit. Once I looked up into the drive shaft area I pulled out what was left of this metal sleeve and bolt. I have reviewed the motor explosion diagram and can not figure out what piece this is. The only thing that is close is the bottom half of the piston, but can’t figure out how it showed up down here in the lower unit area. Any ideas?
