Subject: RE: 50 HP Evinrude lower unit issue


Took some time and dropped the lower unit to inspect it.....worst fears realized. Broken drive shaft, bad water pump/impeller & burnt up bearings. A screw from the inner hub assy came out and the gear lube leaked out causing it to overheat and seize which in turn broke the shaft. Looks like I am in the market for a new lower unit. In talking to a few "experts" I found it is cheaper to find a good used unit then to rebuild the old one......so if anybody has a "decent" 1977-1989 40-55 hp 2cyl lower unit they want to part with let me know.


Thanks,

LLungen
