    Default 1985 Mercury Black Max XR2 150 drive shaft

    Can anyone tell me where to get a drive shaft or a cheap lower unit? If anyone does know please email me at webbdog13@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance.

    You have lots to choose from. Any 2.0, 2.4, or 2.5 V6 LU with the right length driveshaft will bolt up. Newer is better, of course, and if you replace a 4 inch lower with a 4.5, you'll need a different prop. There's an aftermarket new replacement that's had pretty good results.
