The lower Gear assembly pinion broke yesterday while underway. Loud pop then the prop froze. I pulled the prop shaft and found the gear cracked in two. I never hit anything. Everything else looks fine in the gear case besides broken teeth. Could I just replace the gear assembly or should I go with a new lower unit.
Mines a 3 jaw unit so I'm having a hard time finding a entire unit that does not require changing to a 6 jaw.
