I am having that water squirting out of my seam between the lower unit and the mid section that OMC's sometimes seem to get and I am trying to verify my lower unit. Once again as usual, I own a part that I can't properly ID.
This lower unit is on my 1988 200 XP but with apparently a 1987 Johnson 200GT powerhead.
The lower unit has 4 hole water intake. Does dont have an external screen, its inside. But it does not have the six holes above the cavitation plate, it has two slots and the tail end of the cavitation plate is tapered, like v shaped, not cut square. Plus my keg isn't quite shaped like the photos on the OMC website where you would ID your lower unit by year, shape, size and motor. There is a land and sea nose cone on it and they filled the low water pickup intake ports and are still using the 4 intake ports so don't judge what it is by the nose cone. Under the nose cone it goes straight up, no crescent no nothing, just straight.
To me it looks just like the 78-98 V4 90 degree except i have 2 slots, not 6 holes
It also looks similar to the large gear case 79-06 except i don't have an external screen pickup.
So do you think I have another frankenstein part for my collection or is there another lower unit I don't know about?
The bolt on oval plate has three large holes behind it. I think that was a modification. We don't need to ID that.
One more thing is the exhaust bellow/pipe on the inside with the thick rubber seal around it. When looking at all the photos online. They all seem to be about 12" long or so. Mine is defiantly only 3" tall.
