I'm looking for a lower unit for a 30HP Johnson 1987 outboard. Wanting price and condition information for any that are available. Please email me if you have something or know somewhere to get one.<br /><br />------------------<br />bob
30 hp lower end gears are notorious for failure. They seem underengineered according to our mechanics. We have gone through 2 in 3 months for one of our customers that runs a 16 ft trihull hard. Its too much for the little pinion gear. Recommend a rebuild. Parts are cheaper at Pro Marine in Florida. A gear set is probably what you need. Keep it in mind- you haven't got a robust rear end.
If still in need of lowerunit let me know, i think i have one rebuilt in the shed, if not i can fnd you one or rebuild yours, i also have all the parts you would need, contact Frankie at 918-786-8180<br />or E-Mail fmrs@greencis.net<br />Thanks and Good Luck
