    Need Lower Leg for 1978 Evinrude 85 HP

    I have a 1978 Evinrude 85 HP. Motor is still strong. Lower leg is gone- some damage to case, rusted bearings due to water, and a shift rod that will not move. The engine model is 85899C and I believe that the 115 HP and 140 HP from 1978 had the same lower leg. Appreciate any help.
