I just bought this bought and noticed the stern drive housing is cracked. Is there any issues with having a crack at this part of the motor?

There most certain is! That cavity is the shift slide cavity. Looks like it filled with water, then froze. New bell housing, and shift cable, and find out why it filled with water....

Thanks. I was afraid that was going to be your answer. I don't think water froze as he kept it stored indoors for the winters. I think he hit something as the lower leg is chipped as well.
