I currently have an 85 Galaxie with the 120 V4 engine and the OMC Stringer 400. During the last outing it began to "Clunk" like we hit a tree randomly. RPMs stayed constant when it happens so we lifted the engine cover and could see the engine jerk when it happens, almost like the prop momentarily disengages. Once we where at home I noticed a leak on the lower unit and found a hairline crack. I intend to replace the entire lower unit but want to ensure that I am getting to correct unit. Is the unit a Hyro-Mechanical or just a straight mechanical? I'm hoping that I can get a few more seasons out of the turd with this change out.
