thank you and have ripped apart the web for it, apparently it is a unicorn of sorts and places I call wont touch the ones that small because it ones that small need a whole different set of tools?

the mercury part number for a complete unit is 8M0070900

I have found them for $1450-$1800 online but i just cant wrap my head around a unit being half that cost or so for a much bigger motor

apparently they were known for the seals failing and creating the failure, the part number above is the replacement for the original with the original seals
