Hey guys i have a 79 Merc 70hp motor and the lower unit just went. I was wondering what years lower units, and Hp will directly fit on? The cost to repair this one is not gonna work, so i am looking to get another one for it.. thanks... John
My 1979 40 HP lower unit was exactly the same as the 1979 70 HP I just got. What went on your unit I have most everything but the prop shaft and the casing? I have drive gear reverse gear pinion gear Clutch dog shifter shaft and drive shaft. No carrier though from the 1979 70 HP. http://www.ebay.com/itm/330793711586?item=330793711586&viewitem=&vxp=mtr Possibly a 30 hp up to 70 HP 20 inch shaft
