Thanks for any info and sorry to hear about your lower unit getting damaged. By the way it does sound like a reasonable price.

Dan http://www.sterndrive.cc/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=OutboardLowerUnit I would run just as fast and hard as I could. Do not want anything to do with aftermarket lower units. Heard of too many of them failing after just a few hours run time.

As i recall it cost me around 1600 www.spencersautorepair.com some men know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Mine's in the shop right now because of vandalism to the lower unit. My quote was $2800 bucks for a new one... Last edited by Lil' Louie; 02/14/11 07:00 PM.
