I have a 1998 225 Johnson ocean pro I bought 6 months ago that is on an a 24 foot angler. I recently replaced the 19 steel prop with a 17 aluminum because the steel one had over spun. Second time out on the new prop and it looks like the lower end unit is gone because when it's in gear the prop turns easily and has a "clunky" feeling to it. When I dropped the lower end the shifter was fine, and I noticed a few metal shavings in the gear oil.
Can I rebuild this myself?
Online a new one is about $2100!
Becuase this engine is older should I just put that 2000 into a pre owned 4 stroke for $7000?
Any suggestions?
