I did on mine and they replaced it through the warranty

With out seeing a pic its hard to say. Best bet on something like this is to take it to your local dealership and let them handle it.

My has turned a much lighter blue compared to the upper section, didn't think anything of it though. I am curious what the dealer would do to fix it?

[jhb]

That's what i'm talking about....... I'm taking it in this week. I'll let you know what they tell...

My gearcase was replaced early this year for the same issue....

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I just got word today that they going to replace the gear case........ It's 2005

Do you guys mean to tell me they are replacing your l/u because of the paint job?? If so mine has definetly lightened and discolored. But I had really not put much thought into it.. If this is true who should I call?? I neverreally thought the paint color would affect the performance of the motor or anything... Let me know please...

How can I get my hands on a discolored lower unit? I could use a spare Lightening gear case.

[rudetech1]

You got that right!

[AB]

Billy, I had dropped my rig off to have a hub on the trailer checked out. They called and asked me if I'd like a new lower unit since the old one was discolored...I didn't ask any questions, just said "Sure"....

Called the dealer and informed him of what was going on and he told me to bring the boat in and he would replace the gear case!

[Bassmeister]

Damn, can I get the old one, It will match my ole 95 gearcase perfectly!!

Man, if BRP keeps this up, they will go belly up like OMC did. Can't believe they would replace lu for paint. Wish Chevy would give me a new truck every time the paint faided a little.
