I’m just wondering if these parts are still available new? or have they been discontinued and have to find good used ones? I am having trouble finding anywhere that lists them. I’ve found part numbers, but haven’t been able to find the actual parts for sale. hope that makes sense. don’t actually need them yet, just learning and looking.

There are places in Europe that may have parts. The drives can be rebuilt, however you may be best to find a clean low hour freshwater drive as a spare

the boat i bought actually came with a “spare” lower unit, although i’m assuming the internals are trash, as the tapered bearing on the pinion shaft if shot. I haven’t taken it apart yet, but that’s why i was looking around for parts.

Look for a manual AND all the specialty tools before worrying about parts
