Lower left i connected back and according to this reply the upper right Tee is venting into air silencer. Makes sense because i was careful when i removed. Thanks for the help i will update if i find anything else.
Just to update. Replaced drive shaft seals and good to go. Pressure tested and no leaks. Put LU back on and what a pain to get the shift rod back on the lever. I dropped the side pans and removed the air silencer. When reinstalling the air silencer there is T with small tubes i think for a vent...

So to clarify>>>
"The easiest way to tell if it is a 60° V-4 motor is the pan mounted trim switch is on the port side."
Also you're saying my outboard uses many years LU's
If/when i need to order maintenance parts what year do look up?
Thats where my confusion is
Yes that is the idea. I had a little water in the oil when I changed it for the winter. I have no idea what water pump or seals were put on so my plan is to change everything out. I just thought someone might be able to ID this lower unit. Once I get it pulled I will update this thread. Thank...
I'm not putting down an aftermarket LU. I've read both good and bad things about Stern Drive. I just want to get this over with and identify the lower unit that is on my engine. LOL in all honesty all this research has taught me a lot
I'm thinking this is an original gear case. UP is stamped on top. (Just like this OEM) attahed pic.... Obviously all this will be confirmed once I pull the lower unit. I'm just waiting for my son to visit so we can get it off.
Prop off unfortunately even with light I cannot see inside but there looks like there are two bolts visible on the top and then I guess the anode on the bottom of the bearing carrier is in the way and all greased up
Finally got a crescent wrench big enough to get the nut off unfortunately I can't see the gear case. Going to have to get a spotlight or something. I will keep this updated thanks for all the help guys
My 1 1/16th didnt fit. I took a tape measurement and it was actually an inch and a quarter. I found that very strange. Possibly could be off a millimeter or two
