Unit

Give me some ideas on a Gear Housing for FEH, Bass, 45 SS OMC or what have ran Merc in the pass with no problems, but that was a while ago.

I like the OMC 45 SST unit and have used it under our 6 cylinder MOD engine. Were building a OMC SE package and will use the same unit. It is a very strong and well designed lower unit.

FEH Gearbox

Danny,

Go with either the Bass or the 44XS gearbox. The SST45 gearbox needs a lot of improvements for handling, it is not bolt on. It is also a large, hard to adapt gearbox to an old Parker tower. It took me almost an entire season to rework the gearbox to simply handle under the FEH. Mine is sitting under the workbench collecting dust now. In my opinion, it simply has to much lift in it for our applications. You have to run a completely different set up and prop than what we are used to. It works, yes, but in my opinion only (I am sure others would argue) it is more expensive and hard to work out than what is currently available.
