Look closely at the lower section. The ride plate has been broken off somehow. I know you will say it would be better if you could see the parts but I don’t have it. Just want to know if it’s possible to weld something like this. Worst case would be a new lower unit and maybe Chris V could shed insight on that cost or a good guestimate. Don’t want to buy and then end up with a $500 bill.
Coot, can’t tell a lot from pic, but looks like impeller housing has corroded pretty good? Take it to Skips Prop Shop and have have Mike take a look. Great guy. He’ll give you a straight answer and stick to a quote.
I just got a aluminum spool gun for my mig and I’ve found I suck at aluminum welding. It’s an art.
