Thanks Destroyer.....I actually found a piece of thin rope between the lower & upper halves at the trim tab crack area, which tells me the epoxy was failing over the entire crack allowing water to enter the lower unit at the trim tab crack. Looking at the other lower unit, there are some differences. The trim arms are much shorter than what I have on the boat now and a few other small differences. I'll try and make room and back it into my shop where I can work on it and see what I'm dealing with. We've had high winds for a week now and cold temps - I work out in the cold every day - would be nice to get it in the shop and work on it.
