I had so much fun with the spark plug wires that I may try replacing the water pump.
The last time I had it done it cost big bucks even though I took the leg off and took it in. And I was charged $12 plus tax for "Lube." What's with that? In my manual I don't see any special lube. Do I a need a special lube that cost $12? I would think some 2-4-C would do the trick?
Anyways, I have a water pump kit (which I found for half what I was charged at Mercury). From what I can tell it's just the top of the pump that needs to be changed: the water pump body, the impellor, and some gaskets.
Any words of wisdom? Advice? How to?
Should I for go it? [:0]
