    Old Classic 50

    Ok guys I've been trying to do some research and not finding exactly what I'm looking for. I have a classic 50 45 hp on my little tin boat and the lower is shot, metal shavings on the magnet.I know I can have it rebuilt but I was wondering if one of the old Mercury 500 50hp lowers would work? TIA
