Below is what I was told by the seller of this motor, I am looking for a lower unit and this will fit.
"Shifting now with the the shafts not turning, still goes forward, N, reverse smooth. The motor ran great coming in from a 40 mile offshore Grouper trip. The boat was pulled back to slow troll speed at the mouth of the river to gut the fish. After a few minutes the motor cutoff and would not restart. They tilted the stopped motor and went in on one motor. After a $130 starter rebuild, the crankshaft proved to be frozen. I have no reason to suspect any problem with the lower unit and have not unbolted the lower unit from the powerhead. I'm trying to put the price low for the whole motor before I do any disassembly.
