    For a pre-1976 Mercury gear case, that looks to be in great condition. If you reseal the gear case, pay attention to the shaft condition where the drive shaft seal rides. You will probably need a Speedi-Sleeve to cover up the rough shaft. Then, if you check and change the lubricant after EVERY USE, that gear case will last longer than you and me.

    Long live American manufacturing!
