Sure you can do it. More than likely be poor performance though.

May I point you to this thread:

You can always change the lower unit to your upper housing and gears. Or you can run it and see what it does for your application. I don't have any practical experience but I don't believe you will ruin anything by running a lower gear.

I think so. I aquired this boat from my Father in Indiana. He tried to Marine-Texs over it but it didn't work.

I have a line on a complete outdrive for $150. Or I might try to have this one welded closed. Can't hurt it anymore than it already is!

I'd buy the 150 one anyway thats a good deal weld yours and run er in the mean time you can service and reseal the new one ready to go.

Run some JB Weld over it and call it good!
