Just rebuilt my lower unit last week..
Now my shifter handle broke!
That's what happens when you have worn out stuff ! My grandpa said "No.. That's what happens when you use your stuff"
Anyways.. Parts are ordered, should have them in a few days!
I'm gona avoid the "Good ole Boys" this time!
Get what you pay for.:twocents Why pay 1/2 or more for worn out parts if you can get new ones. Besides the cost of driving in gas and grief dealing with the good olde boys trading post will cost you more in the long run.:deadhorse

The new ones are roughly $1000 for a complete gear set, I'll give him about $300!

About a 90' Mercury 25HP
Prop Shaft - $338
Drive Shaft - $320
Forward Gear $250
Reverse Gear $185
Clutch $140
It seems like its always something with boat motors, especially when you use them constantly on lake Conway.
B - Break
O - Out
A - Another
T - Thousand
New stuff or old stuff all the same my stuff tends to break from normal use you just have to fix it and go on.

My wife's uncle taught us this saying........."Poor folks have poor ways"........
:Rolf Alright Victor! If you want to keep your boat running, u do what you got to do. Next time mine decides to crap itself and give me a BOAT repair that's expensive. I'm gonna go by one with a warranty so it doesn't cost me out of pocket. Cause I don't think it matters what motor I have, with my luck something breaks down often.Quote:

A hole in the water into which you throw money.
