Pitting in gears from rust, run em or toss em?
 

I recently picked up a parts boat I am using to repower my stinger. The boat sat for at least 10 years outside with no hatch on it, the sun destroyed the lube bottles and water got into one of the bravo drives. The water sunk to the bottom and cracked the lower wide open so it lost most all of the lube. I have pulled the upper apart, it has less damage than I though it would but I have some rust on the gears. I have had the gears soaking in evaporust for a few days now and they have cleaned up well BUT there is some pitting on a few of the teeth. I know that I had a pretty gnarly pit on a crank a few years back that I went ahead and ran without issues. Are gears the same deal? I am hoping to use this for a spare drive

your asking for trouble if you use them , bravo gears have problems with pitting anyways , without help from water , Toss them.
