Hey guys!
Just ran into lower unit issues. The forward gear is pretty well worn (too worn for dremel tool reworking) and the pinion gear has a little life left but should be replaced as well. Any ideas as to where I can find these gears? I'm not finding any immediate results online--or at least on the sites I've been searching.

The motor is a 1996 Force 40hp.

Thanks a bunch for your responses. EVEN A REBUILT LOWER UNIT OR STRONG USED ONE would be an option but I need a reliable source to obtain something like this.

I'm really trying to get my boat ready for my girlfriend who will be returning home after battling through a bout with a serious illness. All help is GREATLY appreciated!!

You can still get them new from Mercury, about $325 for the pair.

Or pick up used on ebay.

Depends on your wallet, how fast you want it, and if you want to take a chance.
