my new 'project' boat doesn't have reverse and my (trusted) mechanic tells me that i need a new lower unit. he says that i could have 6-8 hours into diagnosing and replacing the part, OR i can find a lower unit and swap it over. its a 1978 70hp 700 3cyl Thunderbolt blue band.
ive found a 1643-6458 on eBay for only $269. will that fit? im willing to take a shot.
i am completely striking out at every Merc dealer and mechanic ive called. if the -6458 wont fit, can someone let me know what will fit.
THANKS!!
Bob
