[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 457272, member: 22613"] There's probably quite a bit of metal debris in the gear case, all of the bearings and gears will be compromised, best off buying a whole used lower unit IMO. Those thru-hub exhaust units are not easy to take apart either, usually requiring special tools. The price needs to reflect what a new lower is going to cost, including your labor, and a little extra for the risk involved, if you can get it for that, go for it. The lower unit on my 83 25hp Johnson spilled it's guts last spring, 200 bucks for a used lower and it was back in business in less than an hour. [/QUOTE]
