      Folks,
      I know this is not a vintage motor but I am trying to find a skeg for a gearbox (lower unit) for a 1979 Evinrude 25 HP Model 25904R. have not had much luck on eBay , does anyone know of another source to explore.

      Thanks in advance
      Mike

        Those gearcases come as a “matched” set. They are machined and bored together. If yours is cracked due to freezing, just have it welded. Sand down the weld, paint it and it will be barely noticed. Now I have seen some mismatched lower halves mated with different upper cases so if you are lucky, you might be able to get one to work. Now if the skeg is broke off and in need of repair, take it to your local prop repair shop and they might be able to weld a new skeg on for you.

          Rick,
          you are correct, I would like to find a good lower unit complete housing, that is decent condition and at a fair price. The internals all look good. The orinal owner used bondo to repair a crack in the skeg so I was concerned cleaning that out to make a weld repair.
          Thanks
          Mike
