I purchased a 1997 75hp force. The lower unit is bad. I need a propshaft, clutchdog and reverse gear. Is there a boatyard where i could get these used items without purchasing the entire lower unit. Any help would be appreciated.
To find the parts and then find someone who'll put them in and do it right?
That's gonna be tough.
Look around for marine salvage yards.
I used to have a list of salvage yards.That was in the old puter.It took a dump and I can't get that info out.
I know a couple of the other guys have it? Maybe they'll post it?
Think: What goes bad on lower units? Skegs, propshafts, dog clutches, and gears. What are the chances of finding a lower unit with gears in good condition and a bad case? Slim to none and slim has left the building. Most people will simply not want to part out a good lower unit. If they do part it out, the internals will cost almost as much as the whole lower, so you are left with the only option of buying a whole, functioning lower.
