Stew Davies restores a 1989 Mercury 2.2 outboard engine that has remained idle in a garage for over two years.▶ 0:06 The refurbishment process begins by removing the propeller, which requires extracting the split pin and sliding the propeller off the shaft.▶ 1:16 Davies cleans rust from the shaft and the leg assembly to prepare the surfaces for maintenance.▶ 2:02 A critical step involves inspecting and replacing the zinc anode, which is prone to seizing or breaking during removal.▶ 2:53 The project utilizes a Clarke battery-operated drill and specialized tools provided by Machine Mart to service the engine components.▶ 5:34 After cleaning and servicing the internal parts, the engine is reassembled to ensure it remains operational for future use. Proper maintenance of the leg and anode prevents corrosion and extends the service life of older outboard motors.
