I am new to this, comes from being both poor and the owner of a 2003 60HP with a bad lower unit. Can't afford to pay someone to fix it. Actually just to cheap but same thing to me! 
Anyway, I am wondering if there is a cross reference chart somewhere that will tell me what sizes/models/years would have a compatible lower unit.
I have a manual coming on a DVD that is supposed to have about everything they ever made (if you believe the ad) but it is not here yet.
Anyway I wanted to start looking for a price to replace the unit. I suspect it may be more badly damaged than I care to tackle myself. I messed up and didn't set the lever to keep it raised and when I was towing it the motor came down and the prop made a nice furrow in the parking lot of a Hotel 8.
Didn't seem to be broken then but now my lower unit is leaking oil from the prop bearings and the water pump isn't pumping.
I will tear it apart to examine it, but I figure with my luck (or lack or paying attention) a spare lower unit might be a good investment if I can find one.
