They redid the molds for the cast lowers. I bought one of the new units. They look good. Wont work for the old style motors. But great for all the newer style plus all the after market outboard motor on the market. These have been available for a while now.
Yeah they've been out a while, I got one for my NR 0.67. I've bought a number of engines from MECOA, they seem to be doing ok but probably need more workers.
