I blew a lower on a Merc 250 almost the same way no warning just boom.

A 36 concept w/2-250's I drove her home the same way at about 40mph.

Come to think of it- my prop won't turn at all and it won't go in gear. Hmmmm...

I'd go with the lower before a power head.

Lowers blowing on merc OB's is very common... They're just about as strong as an Alpha drive... Almost the same parts too... :eek:
