I have a Mercury 6 cylinder outboard that's pretty old (1976 I think). It's
been fairly reliable, even though it's owner is not so reliable on
maintenance. Every year, it gets tougher to start and this year, it won't
turn over. I opened the cowl and I can hear clicking from the battery and a
small gear next to a large gear (flywheel?) on top engage and try to turn
the larger gear.

I tried to manually start the engine by using the pull string, but the large
gear won't budge at all. I have the repair manual for this thing but this
part isn't in there. I'm assuming my problem is that the "flywheel is
stuck". If this sounds right, can somebody offer a solution?

Thanks!

What is probably stuck is not the fly wheel but the expensive things the
fly wheel is attached to, Crank shaft, connecting rods, and pistons,
along with their assorted seals and bearing involved.

You are probably now going to have to pay the price for poor
maintenance.
