I have a 2004 50 hp mercury on a 16'tracker the water pump does not always seem to pump enough water out the back of the motor. the dealer keeps telling me that dirt bloks the pump, but I always flush the engine and only start it in the water. the water just dribbles out , I take it to the dealer and he keeps the boat for a week and maybe the third time out it will stop flow with any pressure.

I have a 1982 Mercury outboard and need to replace the bracket that the motor swivels on. I saw a manual on a web site for $30, that should work me through it, however I think this is to much $ to handle this simple repair. Have any suggestions on how to get a look or copy of that owners manual?
