I found this on ebay will they work on my boat? i hope so because i got them for dirt cheap i was the only one that placed a bid on them



You are bidding on a Mercruiser I/O Lower Unit Parts from a 1980 V8 motor as pictured below. These lower unit parts were functioning fine when removed from motor with a blown motor a few months ago and there were NO water or metal filings in the oil. There are NO pits, chips, or grooving on the gears. Both the Drive & Propeller Shafts are perfectly straight, and the bearing & seal surfaces are smooth. The propeller shaft has NOT been hammered to remove a stuck propeller.

Parts Included:

- FORWARD GEAR, 33 teeth (Good Condition)

- REVERSE GEAR, 33 teeth (Good Condition)

- PINION GEAR, 20 (Good Condition)

- PROPELLER SHAFT, 15 splines (Good Condition)

- DRIVE SHAFT, 13 splines (Good Condition)

- SHIFT SHAFT, 6 splines (Good Condition)

- CLUTCH DOG (Good Condition showing No wear)

- PROP SHAFT BEARING CARRIER (Good Condition)

- SHIFT CAM (Good Condition)

- ALL BEARINGS & SHIMS (Good Condition)

- WATER PUMP HOUSING (Good Condition)


These lower unit parts should fit all 4, 6 & small 8 cylinder Mercruiser-Two's from the 1970's up to 1982 that have the spring loaded tip on the end for the driveshaft. They will NOT fit the newer Alpha-One series outdrives from 1983 up to 1990's & 2000's and the huge TR outdrive series for large V8's from the 1970's or Mercruiser-One's from the 1960's.

These parts will be oiled down and packaged securely for safe shipping.

Re: 1976 SeaRay SRV200 HELP....

Don't even waste your time thinking about buying a bunch of gears like that. Chances are slim they would fit your housing. Even if they did, you don't have the special tools to install them.

Iboats sells SEI drives, but I can't find the link, might just give iboats a call.
Here is the link to the sei site. http://www.sterndrive.cc/

well crap how can i figure that out?

and this is what the guy said about the gears i got on e bay for 20 bucks is he correct?


The gear ratio changes in the upper unit not the lower unit.
So, all the lower unit gear ratios are the same and will fit your
motor.
If payment is made today, I will ship first thing in the morning.
Thanks

In your original post you said it was an 888. An 888 is 188 hp, the other hp ratings were called something else, not 888.

Re: 1976 SeaRay SRV200 HELP....

well gears showed up best $$$ ive spent but the bad part is the top was junk as well looks like a tooth broke off and got stuck. it sheered all the gears off. I found a guy in Tiffin Ohio that had a rebuilt 888 that he sold me for $480 WOW what a find. put it all together last night after some fighting with the shaft and put it in the water today... runs like a dream after a few minor adjustments on the idle cable and stearing cable. now i just have to get a new exaust riser boot mine is leaking a bit and all will be good. anyone need the lower gears and shafts for a merc 888 stern drive let me know. Ive got a 3 year warranty on my unit and dont want to store them for that long.
