Lower Unit

[specktator]

I got a 2000 200HP Johnson Ocean Pro (Long Shaft 25"). Lower unit is shot and I need a new one. My guys wants $2300 for a new one installed. Anyone know of any second hand lower units that would fit let me know or of someone I could contact. Need it ready for SC Tourney!!! Will drop the dollas if I got to but really don't wanna spend that much. Would rather get new motor next year.

Make sure you call them to order to make sure you get the correct gear ratio for your year and model. Have used them before on customers boats and so far so good. They come with a no fault 3 year warranty.

He is a damn good mechanic,he buys the sei lower unit's too. If the forward and reverse gear is shot along with the seals it is cheaper to buy the sei vs. rebuilding.

Yea lower units not near that price, recently hit something coming across big lake at night and bent my shaft. Got a new lower unit on 225 yamaha for at 1200. Guy in Lake Charles though..

Thanks for the help. I got a few people I am gonna call in the morning. If I can't find a used one for less then $500, I'm gonna call up SEI.

Try Boats Unlimited in BR. If they do not have one ask them if they know of someone who does. This Lower unit may be hard to find at the local big boat dealers but I would call them and ask...they may know somone in the area "independent guy/repair person" that may have one.

I bought a used lower unit off ebay for $ 700 delivered to my house. This was for a 40 hp Force. Parts to completly rebuild would have cost over $ 800.

This engine [lower unit] had never been within 500 miles of salt water, looked almost new.

Just called SEI. Got one ordered for $845+$41 shipping. Will be here in 2 business days. Pretty good deal. Thanks for the info Montauk.

No problem man....I have had good luck with them so far. Had trouble with one after the customer left the drain plug out. They still replaced it under warranty. You went back with a right hand or left hand?

I'm guessing RH. I didn't specify. I'm gonna have to switch back to my old prop, right?

I don't think they sell LH lower units. Yeah you will need to switch to your old prop.
