A new gear unit free from Tohatsu UK

It has been successfully fitted. Last time I changed the impeller, it took almost an hour and a half to fit the old lower unit back onto the engine.

The new unit inserted correctly awaiting grease on the prop shaft and the prop being reattached. 

A bonus......a new non-corroded anode as well. 

This time, the new unit was back in and tested in a bucket of water within 30 minutes. Always easier when you know what you are doing eh?

BOOM, as they say...................

The old unit with the offending upper lube drain hole. 

The area around the water pump house base is badly salt corroded.
