"Hi,
I have a 1991 searay
"Hi,
I have a 1991 searay 4.3 200. It has a generation two outdrive and i did not have enough oil in the outdrive so it burned up. I took the outdrive off and can see that the upper unit gear set has burned up. Is there anyway i can replace just those two gears without special tools and extensive knowledge? I see the gears online for about $250. I would love to get away with just replacing them. Is this realistic?
And how would i know the lower unit doesnt have metal flakes in it and is still good to use? when i drained the oil, no flakes came out but when i open the top of the upper unit to look at the gears, you can see metal everywhere.
Can i put an SEI upper unit on the merc lower?
Thanks for the help!"
