Yamaha - Lower Unit Assembly - Gearcase and Propulsion System - 6MM-45300-00-CE

Overview

When a lower unit starts making noise or taking on water, it’s usually not something you want to patch together. This assembly is what transfers all that engine power into forward motion, so it needs to be solid every time you drop it in gear. On the water, you can feel the difference between a worn unit and one that’s tight and smooth. Swapping to a complete assembly like this gets you back to running confidently without second guessing it.
