    225 pro xs lower unit

    I need a torqemaster lower unit for a 2007 mercury 225 pro xs. Serial no. 1A91129. Can someone recommend a reliable place to purchase one. Would a reman lower unit be a good choice? Also, my lower unit is black in color. Everything that I am finding is silver in color. Is there a difference besides color?
    Thanks

    Please check your serial number- it should be a digit, a letter, and six digits.

    The letter in your engine's serial number will NOT be "A".

    Occasionally we can get some CPO/REMAN gearcases, but they're not real common.

    I just had a new Lower unit fitted to my 2008 225 pro xs as an insurance repair. I sent photos and the serial number (1B555161) to the dealer, and on collection they have fitted a silver unit...the previous was black ? ��

    Is this 'normal', are they are they only available in Silver as a 'replacement' part ... or has the dealer ordered the wrong part?

    I 'think' its a Torque Master but I'm guessing, its was a standard pro xs when I purchased as far as I'm aware.....

    Any thoughts appreciated ��

    Thanks for tuning in, its the peace of mind I was looking for just to be sure they hadn't fitted the wrong one.
