I am talking to a couple guys about buying their 1:75 TM1 lower units for my 2005 225 Pro XS (#1B150792) and I wanted to make sure Im getting the correct lower for that motor.
Ive been told that 8M0072952 is correct, but Ive also been told there are other lowers that will work just fine, Verado units included?
if there are other lowers that I can use, does anyone know where I can find those part numbers?
8M0072952 is the only CORRECT Part Number for your 225 ProXS.
A Verado-Style could be used, but you will lose some of the lift built into the Gen-1 TM case. If you need further assistance, see Rhonda's post (pinned at the top of the Forum)- she can assist or set you up with what you need.

DON-
Are there more than one Mercury Torque master lower units with the first letters8M007?I can send you pics, if that helps? Just want to be sure it's the correct one before I drive 3 hours to buy it
I found one that still has the Mercury sticker on it but its rubbed off and all I can see is 8M007.
Cannot use or rely on "stickers" found on parts. Those are Mercury's INTERNAL PRODUCTION NUMBERS and seldom do they match a Part Number.Originally Posted by Mudbone
And yes, there is more than ONE Gearcase beginning with 8M007

Once again, thanks Don...
yessir, this one won't work with my XS-just got confirmation from mechanic
Since the subject of a Gen-2 Torquemaster came up, here is the warning label that comes affixed to a New Gen-2 TM when you remove it from the box:
