Post Lower Unit Gear Alignment
Hey guys, I have a 2006 Gen 1 lower unit and replaced the bearing in the upper, now am putting back together, should I line up the gears a certain way?. Is there a particular alignment to pay attention to?

Maybe you will get lucky and find someone with some parts. If not I bet having one made would be very expensive. If it was mine and I couldn't find some used parts I would run it, but plan on getting a new lower unit.

A good shop could repair that one for a couple hundred bucks.
