    Lower unit needed for a 1979 V6 175HP

    Looking for a lower unit for a 1979 V6 175 HP being used on an old ski boat. Trying to confirm what years will fit if someone knows please let me know. Having a little bit of an issue finding all the parts needed to rebuild current unit plus the expense is getting up there... So seeing if someone has a complete unit that is good to go and will bolt straight on that makes financial sense. Thanks.
