Just bought a boat from a friend that he was working on but ran out of time/money. One of the last things it needs is a lower unit (it doesn't have one at all. He threw it out). I've purchased one on eBay and it is in transit, along with a new water pump kit. The LU was vac and pressure tested OK, no water in the lube when drained. Is there anything else I need to purchase for the install (gaskets, etc)?

Oh, the motor is an '84 115hp (TLCRD, I believe it was)

just fill plug washers would be good.
grease the spline lightly, but make sure the of its clean top

Thanks Bosunsmate. What sort of grease should I use for the splines and are there more anodes than the obvious one?

Looks like the new LU doesn't come with the bolts for attaching. Anyone know the size I need?
