Not a pro here by ANY stretch, but a quick lookup shows that the complete lower unit part number (0387579)
is also used on these models:

EVINRUDE 1975 115593
EVINRUDE 1975 85593E
EVINRUDE 1976 115693D
EVINRUDE 1976 115693G
EVINRUDE 1976 115699D
EVINRUDE 1976 115699G
EVINRUDE 1976 85693D
EVINRUDE 1976 85693G
EVINRUDE 1976 85699G
JOHNSON 1975 115ESL75E
JOHNSON 1975 115ETL75E
JOHNSON 1975 85ESL75E
JOHNSON 1976 85EL76D
JOHNSON 1976 85EL76G
JOHNSON 1976 85ETLR76D
JOHNSON 1976 85ETLR76G

Though the part doesn't seem to be available new (of course.. lol), maybe you could find something used from the list above?

Just a thought... I'm sure one of the pro's here, or at least someone with more knowledge than I have, can confirm this list, or point you in the right direction if I'm mistaken...

Hope it helps!! :)

All those model #'s in the above list are the same as far as the lower units are concerned.------The 73 / 74 / 75 / 76 model V-4 motors all used those lower units.----Now the 135 models may have a slightly different gear ratio but they fit.---Those lower units are easy to find in my area.

Yeah, the 85 and 115 had a 26:13 ratio while the 135 had a 25:13 ratio
