I am not an expert, but anything I have read has indicated to steer clear from "aftermarket" lowers. I would NOT put anything but a genuine Merc lower on mine.

Insurance companies should not be allowed to force you to put on anything other than original manufactured parts. That's what got State Farm in so much trouble 10 years ago in the auto industry side.

The Torquemaster Gearcase should ONLY be replaced with it's OEM Replacement Part.
There are NO SUBSTITUTES that are safe and dependable. Period.
