What lower unit is this?

Post: # 8173Post Hippie459MN »

Well, I scored this piece the other day and for what I paid for it was worth it even if it is nothing more then a decoration piece.

I think the guy said it was like a 1996 Merc racing piece but I really cant remember now. He didnt sound like he knew what he was really talking about to begin with and he is not the boater type at all. He got it in a lot of stuff he picked up from his son or something. There was a ton of old jet stuff and some v-drive stuff too but it was all in sad shape but I seen this, tossed him a crazy low number and he said, "ok, I have zero use for it and would just junk it anyways I think".

OB formula 1. They are a nonshiftable unit with 2 pinion gears. I have never worked with any of them and don't know a whole lot about them.

I saw something like that on a tunnel hull racer years ago. I think they were 1 to 1 ratio, no shift, and ran like a 13" prop. You start up and away you go. I may be wrong, but that's what it looks like to me.
