1985 50hp evinrude gearcase swap

[snake eater]

Hi, I have a 1985 50hp evinrude e50tlcob, I am in the market for a gearcase (just the case). As you might be aware they are pricey and hard to find. Has anyone had any experience in getting other years (newer) gearcases to fit? I have seen a couple 2007 evinrude etech gearcases that look exactly the same but with different part numbers and I have no idea if they would fit.

You need 1979 to 1988 for it to work.

I am on my 3rd lower unit so I happen to have 2 lowers in the attic of my garage for an '81 50 evenrude.

Let me look at them and see what shape they are in and I will PM you tonight.
