"Hello, I'm hoping you can

"Hello, I'm hoping you can advise. I hit rocks and did damage to the lower unit on my 2006 Honda BF75A. I haven't taken it apart yet but I can see that the propeller shaft holder is broken and the top mounting bolt is bent.
Here's my question: Can a guy with good mechanical apptitude, a decent set of tools and a shop manual fix this himself? Are any specialty tools needed? And last, who is a good source for parts.
Thanks for looking and any advice you can give."
 
"Yes, you can fix it yourself

"Yes, you can fix it yourself (save the labour cost, the parts are expensive enough on their own).

Some special tools can make the job easier, but if you are even slightly mechanically inclined you can improvise almost anything.

On a motor that "new", you are most likely going to have to get the parts right from Honda.

If you are looking to get an idea as to prices, you can check out this link...
