OK, so the prop shaft was not replaced. This gearcase was operational before it got water inside, froze and split the skeg open, correct?
25028 is a 57 35hp. You mention the gears looked new, but don’t know if you replaced them… Seems like they would have been pretty rusty if they were in there, but perhaps you cleaned them up. Would be helpful if you could remember though.
The gearcase is not original, so we don’t know what year it is…
