Good day. Would anyone know if the lower unit from a 12.9 hp Chrysler OB year ???? would fit, (or is it the same as) on a 1997 Force 15 hp. ?

Thank you,

Perhaps it would. The same lower unit was used on the Chrysler 9.9, 10, 12.9, and 15. I am not familiar with the Force 15, but if Merc did not change it, it probably will fit.

First check the pattern of the bolts holding it to the midleg. If they are different, it will be enough to easily see; no slight differences. Then pull out the 15 lower unit. If the drive shaft is the same diameter and splines, you are probably gold.

Thank you Frank. I can only work from a picture at the moment. I ll try to get part numbers to compare.

I would like to buy this Chrysler LU for spare parts.
