Hey, I am fairly new to this site but if someone out there could share with me the items I need to replace when repairing my lower unit, I would greatly appreciate it very much. I own an "84 Mercruiser 470R engine with a Mercruiser outdrive. Last few times out the engine got hotter than usual. Last time out it got TOO hot. One thing I did notice is the exhaust bellows is shot and a couple of friends, (Not experts) tell me to replace everything in the lower unit. I guess I just am asking what all should be replaced when I repair it? And can I buy kits with all the necessary parts? Thanks, "the-menace" Dennis
