Tom, as you know the gearcase is a real problem with the small foot 60/52 cubic inch Mercury. Its difficult to find good used parts and new parts are very costly. I suggest you widen your options and also look for 1:8 ratio. That ratio was on some of the other models. |

Thanks for the advice. Hoping to see a few options this week. Been surfacing this one for 6 years, guess I shouldn't be surprised. Only 1.83 lower I see in the manual is for 40/50 3 cyl. Big Foot models are 2.31 Regardless of model I'm gonna pin next one as carrier isn't threaded and if nothing presents itself I'll park it or get a different motor. Yamaha or Tohatsu being at the top of the list. |

The 4 stroke case is different, but, they also have the same gear ratios and I would think they are the same parts. |

Think I'll let someone with extensive lower unit experience tackle that experiment. A man's gotta know his limitations. If I can't find a direct replacement then I'll go to Plan B. |

The Yacko's do very well with their mercs, often winning against sst60 power. They probably have gearcases. https://www.facebook.com/james.yacko |

Jim and Kyle started out in Bandit with 40 mercs. The now run 2 of Todd's Aquarius's with modified mercs in x-class the year after we stopped racing and gave our old boat and another sst60 a run for the money, but our old boat prevailed ! https://apbashop.com/products/02005-pro ... -june-2020 |
