you might be quicker to call around to get your answer. there are several good dealers and shops in the area. bill vance marine here in cassville. fred ulrich is great. there is a good dealer at branson west, and i am sure that someone will help me with some other choices.

How bad is the damage? May be faster and less expensive to repair yours.

A reman unit will possibly be a less reliable and more expensive choice.

Gimme a call if you'd like. 573-569-5406

Hit a log, drove another mile and then the rpms shot up and I shut the key off. I cant put it into gear anymore or reverse.

Nothing blown out the side of the housing and/or no extensive skeg or cav plate damage?

If not I'd open it up and inspect the actual damage.

Buying a reman lower unit just means you're buying a repaired gearcase that likely suffered the same (or worse) damage as yours did ...for twice the price.

Sometimes you have a choice, other times not. Only way to tell is to inspect it and see.
