Thank you. I (reluctantly) agree! Can you recommend shops that might have these units? I called the two Honda dealers closest to Seattle, and neither of them were any help.

Yes, thanks for this reply. I agree...

Freshwater vs Saltwater question.. I also plan to only run it in Freshwater (such as Lake Powell) for the foreseeable future. (it used to spend 2-3 weeks per year in Puget Sound).. Is it safe to say the "corrosion-expansion" that caused the crack will halt as long as it's not exposed to...

So the crack has not made it to the gearcase oil cavity. I could: - Drill a hole at the end of the crack to prevent further propagation... - Grind the crack open a bit to expose more surface area for bonding - JB weld the crack - Then I'd like to put some kind of Stainless Steel bank around the...

Thanks Bob

Looks like I have two options. I'm wondering what you guys think is best: (1) I can get a used lower unit, but I take some risk not knowing the condition of the gears and prop shaft runout, etc. (2) I can get NOS housing, and swap in the parts from my old one. Question: Option 2 seems like a...

Thanks for the thoughtful responses guys! It looks like I have a few options: https://www.ebay.com/b/Complete-Outboar ... rand=Honda

Could it be welded? What about JB Weld and a SS hose clamp to keep it from propagating in the meantime?
