Re: Water Tube replacement here
No it needs to be put in from the top.
It also needs a rubber grommet and the screws holding it in place will probably twist off and need to be fixed too.
Just use the hose fix.WAY easier.
Bring it over and I'll help.
From this diagram item 5 is the waterline inlet or water tube. Unfortunately, it is already obsolete so your best bet is to fabricate one. The pic maybe too small but you can always zoom it and print it for readibility.

Need to know what year and what model/horse power your motor is before anyone can answer your question.

I have a problem with the tilt pin locking mechanism on my 2003 25 HP tiller controlled, electric start Mercury outboard. This is a maunaul type tilt pin, where you stick the pin in one of several holes, depending on your weight distribution - no power trim on this engine. When the mechanism was working properly, and the motor was down on the tilt pin (i.e.in running position) and in "forward", the motor would be able to tilt up. This is (as I'm sure you know) to allow the motor to tilt up freely if the lower section hits anything while on the trailer or running on the water. Now I've noticed that the motor is always locked down onto the tilt pin regardless of gear position (reverse, neutral, forward). I noticed a linkage that goes from the gear shifter on the tiller handle, down through a casing,of sorts, that ultimately seems to disengage the tilt pin. Only in my case now, the linkage doesn't seem to have enough travel to disengage the pin. My question is whether there is an adjustment that can be performed on the linkage to get the thing to operate again. It look darn near impossible to get to - at least when the motor is on the boat. I'm very handy working on mechanisms , but have no experience with outboards. Thanks for any advise you can give me !!

No cam on the 25s. They shift up/down, not rotationally.

Re: Mercury Steering Cable Seazed in Tilt Tube
had the same problem seized on me during the winter days, just got the day off and decided to tinker with it. now it turns and steers like butter. [links]
In picture #1 just remove nut marked 1 and in picture #2 remove the nut from the steering arm and remove the seal from the cable. Take the gresse zerk out of the center of the tilt tube between the transom brackets and spray some WD 40 or other penatrant in that location. Using a phillps screwdriver put in the hole where the steering arm was try turning the cable to get the penatrant into the tube. DO NOT turn that cable more than a quarter tune in any direction! You just want to move the cable alittle to get it broke loose. You just have to keep working it till it is loose enought to pull the cable out of the tube towards the controler. DO NOT beat on the end of the cable or it will mushroom and you will be in deep sh*t then. Once you get the cable out of the tube, get a 3/8" wooden dowel and cut a slit in the end of it a couple fo inches long so you can slide a pice of sand paper in the slit. Use the dowel and a shop towel to clean the greasse out of the tube. Put the sandpaper in the slit of the dowel and chuck it in a drill and wrap the sandpaper around the dowl to fashion a flapper wheel and sand the inside of the tube to remove any rust and pit aeras inside the tube. Clean the inside of the tube with Brake clean and a air hose. Clean the cable the same way, and put a light coating of grease on it and put everythig back together. Put the serk back in the center of the tube and grease the tube while moving the controler while doing so. If this dose not work, let us know and we can try to help out more. JMO
