    Could I use a mid 80s 25hp lower unit on a 74 Evinrude 35hp?

    I have two motors that I picked up for parts. One is an 84 25hp and the other is a 74 35hp. The 35 has the old school round water intakes and the 25 has the square plastic screens. The lower on the 35 froze and not only split the case(Fixable) but it shoved the bearing carrier so hard it...

    "96" Evinrude 25hp neutral issues shifting from FWd only.
