    Where to find lower unit for Mariner 60 hp?

    I need a new lower unit for my Mariner 60E 675-309558. I haven't been able to find the right one so far as Mercury's parts catalog shows it as discontinued and I can't find it anywhere else. The closest I have been able to find is the lower unit for the 3 cylinder version of mine, which is a 2...

    2000 or 2001 Johnson 40hp problems

    So as said in the title I have a Johnson 40hp, I don't remember if it is a 2000 or 2001.
