Re: Any Merc coupler upgrades?
Thanks Panther. That part # comes up as steel spline hub designed for low speed/work conditions. Im assuming like for diesels. Are you sure this is the correct one I want for high HP and high TQ in my 26' cat?
Thanks

Are the old shouldered bolts still available?

I just put a new coupler on a Cigarette and the bolts had a shoulder on them, they came with the coupler.

I'm running this coupler also on a hopped up 525sc. I was thinking the same thing about the bolts. The coupler comes with new ones.

I found a stock, aluminum spline Merc coupler for $344.94 at www.mercruiserparts.com
List is $404, exactly what my local Merc dealer wants....
Anyone know of a better deal than $344 ???
