I replaced the reed valves and carburetor on my 1988 Mercury 9.9 2 cycle outboard. I also took the lower unit off to check the condition of it and the water pump. It's been about a year ago that I took everything apart. Now I finally put it all back together and I have 2 leftover bolts. They are both 10 mm stainless steel and are 1.25 inches long. I cannot figure out where they go and cannot find any in the parts manual that match for the lower unit or carburetor and reed valve assemblies. Does anyone know if Mercury used SS bolts anywhere other than in the lower unit. I may need to take it apart again. (I'd much rather be missing parts than have leftovers)
