I have a 1979 mercury outboard 50hp motor that I thought I winterized but I didn't get all the water out. The water froze and popped the threads in the housing and pushed the prop shaft out. I would like to know if I can get the lower unit housing and rebuild it myself or if it is smarter to have the work done, and if so what should I look for to see if the gears are damaged.<br />Also can I get info on some marine salvage or used parts stores.
