what to do on my lower unit

[taylorbass]

i have a 1998 johnson 200 venom and the casing is broke (about a four inch chunk taken out) where the prop goes on it is locked up im pretty new to outboard maitnance and was wondering if it would be cheaper to just buy a new one or if there is any way to repair or rebuild or if you have any clues to where i can find a used one that would be great to. thank you

You can buy a complete new after market lower unit with a 3 year warrantee from SEI for about $800. Why fool around with anything else?

By the sounds of it you need to replace it. What happened to take that size chunk out of it ??? Any photos of it ??

Ouch!

You can sometimes find decent used units on ebay, or as suggested above, pick up a rebuilt one or new aftermarket one.

Just do an inet search for SEI Marine. They are in Florida, they will ship it to you and you don't need to send your old one back.
