My brother just paid $1500 to have his lower unit rebuilt on his 225 Mercury with all new seals and gears. They also did a waterpump at the same time. I thought the price was high.

2.5L or 3L?

2.5

there are plenty of good used 25" lowers out there( the 20's are getting hard to get). new mercury complete lower will run you $4500, Mercury Reman around $2700. I've seen used ones as low as $500, just keep looking around

For freakin $4500 I'd get a new boat! :o :o :o
