How to identify lower unit, with no upper part of engine ??

[fishon71]

I there any way to determain what this lower unit goes to if that's all I have? I know its for a large Force engine, identification stops there. I can't say I have ever seen numbers on a lower unit casing, is there?

I thought I was pretty good with computers, but I can not figure out how to attach a picture to this subject. Is there an easy explanation on how to do this?

First off, the picture has to be on the internet somewhere, not just in your computer. <br /><br />You can put your pictures up on a free internet picture hosting server. Here is one that is run by SONY<br /> http://www.imagestation.com/ <br /><br />Note, signing up with this site will put you on their mailing list, but what do you expect for nothing?<br /><br />Sign up, upload your image.<br /><br />To post a picture on iboats:<br /><br />Go to the full sized picture on the internet or hosting site, not a thumbnail.<br />Right click, then click "properties".<br />Highlight the URL address, <br />then right click on it and click "copy". <br />THe URL must end with "jpg"<br /><br />Now come back to you post here on iboats.<br />Click the "FULL REPLY FORM" button below the reply dialogue box.<br />Click the "image" button that appears below the dialog box. <br />Paste the URL into the text box.<br />Click ok.
