Hey you all, I need to get a lower unit for an Evinrude RAM 150HP (2001). This is a 25", 60 deg, AND IT IS THE COUNTER ROTATION. Any ideas where to get one, does anyone here has one that I can buy? Almost impossible to find one in Puerto Rico. Cheers, Pedro

Greetings, Do you guys know where I can get the rubber latching system they use to hold the fish box lid close. The rubber on both of my latches are broken so they don't really lock the lid. Cheers, Pedrito
