Some folks refer to a lower unit as being from the transom bracket down.
The driveshaft casing, (also refered to as the tower or mid section) in my experience
on an A-25 is nickel plated.
The gear case, ( also refered to as lower unit or gear foot ) in my experience is polished
aluminum, (not plated ) At least they are on my two A-25’s.
As far as removing paint without disturbing the nickel plating,
I personally have had sucess soaking the part in just plain old gasoline.
Everyone’s got a flavor that works for them.
