    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.
