There was a case on ebay a few days ago. Used Mercury Outboard Gearcase Assy 9539A 4 from 1995 40 H P | eBay
How do you like this engine? I may be trading for one next week, it does not have a scratch on it. Only bad thing is its a steering wheel setup. If I get it will be putting a tiller handle on it. and taking the console out of the boat its going on.
