Anyone had to get their lower unit replaced lately on a Mercury 250, torque master, any delays getting one? I’m referring to new Mercury units, not aftermarket. Also, opinions on welding a new skeg on if that’s the only damage? I hit something on Conroe and broke part of the skeg off. Boats at the dealer now to see if there’s any other damage or just the skeg. It was mentioned that there had been issues getting new Mercury lower units, hoping to find out today.
I really don’t want to go with any aftermarket lower unit. Motor is under original warranty and I have the extended warranty. I start vacation Friday and hoping to get the boat up and running ASAP.
For those on Conroe be careful with the lake lowered 2 feet. Right after I hit what I assume was a stump a guy went flying by right where I had just hit the object.
Scott, check the For Sale section. There is a 2017 Merc 250 with 148 hours on it listed for sale. It is located in the Baton Rouge area too so it wouldn’t be that bad of a drive.
