Before painting the lower unit and putting it back together again I decided to start the biggest project sofar - opening up the gear housing. Just hope I can get it back together again. I have always had a strange noise when going in reverse, as if the gears are not locking, but the sound seems to come from higher, but anyway - I decided to check the lower unit gears, see the picture of the reverse gear. Pinion and forward gear look exactly the same quality.

What do you think? Looks ok?

Any reason why there is such a mark on the inside of the gear - some alignment mark maybe?

appreciate yr comments,

That mark probably came from the factory for some kind of ID.
