[QUOTE="Boat2fast, post: 351898, member: 13358"] I have been around this block a couple of times recently. You may be much better off waiting until you can find a good used lower unit. If you want to take this one apart to learn the ins and outs, or to save the lower unit housing, that would be as far as I would go. These engines can be found readily...probably for less than the cost of rebuild parts. Obviously, you would want to check the lower unit fluid on any used engine. If the seller agrees, pop the lower off and see how it rolls over. Check the shafts turn straight...if you have the opportunity. Explain that if you can't hear it run then you can only consider it for parts...or scrap. People understand this. It's fair. [/QUOTE]
