Changing Lower Unit Gears
I hope this is not a stupid question but can you change the lower unit gearing by swapping them out with different ratios or do you have to get a new lower unit with gearing already in place?

XR uppers, the ratio can only be changed by changing
the lower gearset.
Reg bravo/X, are changed by changing the
upper gearset ( although, there are a few different
tooth count lower gearsets for bravo 2/3's that
could make up some different combinations)

Thanks for the replies guys!
We do have the X drive, I forget to mention that in the first post. As well as the 496HO stock.
Now my second question... what would going from a 1.5:1 to 1.65:1 do to the boat? Mainly any effect on the top end/speed. Are there any other advantages to changing the gearing?
Thank again for the help.
