    a little over a year ago I was doing a hard search for a new OEM lower unit and it was difficult to find one might be better now

    There are the third party ones that most say aren't worth it

    The only place I found one I would trust is BOATS.net

    Wasn't cheap but those guys are top notch and back there sales

    Finally figured out what the problem was with mine so I didn't need to purchase one

    there are plenty on ebay but your just buying someone else's problems

    just make sure you trust the people your buying it from

    Also be aware, if you have a HPDI motor that the gear ratio is different. Learned this the hard way.

    How do you determine that?
