Need a new lower unit for a 1998 Mercury 200 EFI. I hate to go through my repair shop since I am more than capable of pulling off and re-installing a lower unit and I don't want to pay labor. Can anyone recommend who to go to to have a lower unit shipped directly to me? I see they sell them on iboats.com but not sure if of the vendors there. Also, if you know of any company to stay away from I would appreciate that info as well. I'm looking for a rebuilt or aftermarket unit to save some money but will consider new if no one has any good recommendations for a aftermarket or rebuilt lower unit.

Thanks for any advice.
 
I have some old info (2-09) that says mercaftermarkets.com. At that time they sold remanufactured lower units for $800...Kept the post from BFHP just in case I needed a needed a another one...Hope this helps...BF
 
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll definetly have to check them both out. I did search the parts section of this site but nothing was available. I've actually had a hard time finding them for this particular motor at some aftermarket sites, they all have lowers for the 200DFI engines but not many list the 200EFI (at least for 1998) as one they service.

My local repairman did say that the 200EFI model I had was known for blowing out lower units. Which he claimed made them harder to find. Of course that was right before he quoted me a price of $2,500 to replace it. It isn't an unreasonable price, I know he has to make money too; but if I can find one for a 3rd of that price and put it on myself then that is the way I'm going to go.

Thanks again, and if you think of anything else let me know.
