OBR replacement gearcase for select Mercury 75, 90 and 115 HP four-cylinder four-stroke outboards. This product family covers standard, Command Thrust, 115 Pro XS, and 115 Pro XS Command Thrust configurations, with both 20-inch L and 25-inch XL shaft options.

Standard 75/90/115 and 115 Pro XS configurations use the listed 2.07:1 gear ratio. Command Thrust and Pro XS Command Thrust configurations use 2.38:1. Each application is available as either a new or remanufactured OBR gearcase under its own ME-G4 SKU.

Fitment must be determined from the engine serial number, model number, existing gearcase family, shaft length, and gear ratio. Horsepower and model year alone are not sufficient. Product-specific supplier listings currently identify standard and Command Thrust applications through 2023 and Pro XS applications through 2023. Any 2024 order must be confirmed in writing before shipment.

OBR states that gearcase assemblies ship without lubricant. The correct manufacturer-specified gear oil must be added before operation, and OBR’s break-in and shift-adjustment instructions must be followed. New and remanufactured OBR gearcases are covered by OBR’s published two-year limited warranty, subject to its inspection, installation, and usage requirements.

How to Choose a Mercury 75–115 HP 4-Stroke Lower Unit | Pro XS & Command Thrust

This OBR Mercury 75–115 HP four-stroke lower-unit family provides new and remanufactured replacement gearcases for select Mercury 75 HP, 90 HP and 115 HP outboards. Available applications include standard Mercury lower units, Mercury Command Thrust lower units, Mercury 115 Pro XS lower units and Pro XS Command Thrust configurations.

Choose between a 20-inch L or 25-inch XL shaft. Standard and non-Command-Thrust Pro XS configurations use the listed 2.07:1 gear ratio, while Command Thrust configurations use 2.38:1. Every shaft length, gearcase type and condition has a separate ME-G4 SKU.

Before ordering, confirm your Mercury engine serial number, model number, existing gearcase configuration, shaft length and gear ratio. Horsepower and model year alone are not enough to guarantee fitment. Current product-specific supplier listings cover 2014–2023 standard and Command Thrust applications and 2016–2023 Pro XS applications. A 2024 engine requires written compatibility confirmation before purchase.

What Customers Say

Frequently Asked Questions

Who manufactures these Mercury replacement lower units?
These replacement gearcases are manufactured or remanufactured under the OBR Parts brand. Mercury is the compatible engine manufacturer, not the manufacturer of the replacement unit.
Which Mercury engines are covered by this product family?
The product family covers select Mercury 75 HP, 90 HP and 115 HP four-cylinder four-stroke standard and Command Thrust applications, plus select 115 HP Pro XS and Pro XS Command Thrust applications.
What model years are confirmed by the product-specific supplier listings?
The standard and Command Thrust listings currently identify 2014–2023 applications. The 115 Pro XS and Pro XS Command Thrust listings identify 2016–2023 applications.
Will these lower units fit a 2024 Mercury engine?
The current Mariners Warehouse page claims 2024 compatibility, but the product-specific supplier listings reviewed for these SKUs end at 2023. A 2024 engine requires written fitment confirmation before ordering.
What is the difference between the standard and Command Thrust configurations?
They are different gearcase configurations with different listed gear ratios. The standard configuration uses 2.07:1, while the Command Thrust configuration uses 2.38:1. They should not be treated as interchangeable.
Does Command Thrust mean counter-rotation?
No. Command Thrust identifies the gearcase configuration and does not identify propeller rotation. None of the 16 current variants is specifically labeled as a counter-rotation SKU.
What gear ratio does the standard Mercury 75–115 HP lower unit use?
The listed standard ME-G4-07D and ME-G4-07F configurations use a 2.07:1 gear ratio.
What gear ratio does the Command Thrust lower unit use?
The listed ME-G4-20 and ME-G4-21 Command Thrust configurations use a 2.38:1 gear ratio.
What gear ratio does the Mercury 115 Pro XS lower unit use?
The non-Command-Thrust ME-G4-25 and ME-G4-26 Pro XS configurations use 2.07:1. The ME-G4-30 and ME-G4-31 Pro XS Command Thrust configurations use 2.38:1.
Which shaft lengths are available?
Both 20-inch L and 25-inch XL configurations are available. The shaft length must match the existing engine and gearcase configuration.
What is the difference between the new and remanufactured options?
A new unit is sold as a new OBR gearcase. A remanufactured unit has been rebuilt and supplied under the OBR remanufactured program. Both conditions are covered by OBR's published two-year limited gearcase warranty.
How do I identify the correct SKU?
Confirm the engine serial number, model number, standard or Command Thrust configuration, Pro XS status, shaft length, gear ratio and rotation. Do not select a SKU using horsepower and year alone.
Is the Mercury engine serial number required?
Yes. The engine serial number should be required at checkout and reviewed before shipment because it provides the strongest available fitment reference.
Does the lower unit arrive with gear oil installed?
No. OBR states that gearcase assemblies ship without oil. Fill the unit with the engine manufacturer's specified gear lubricant to the recommended level before operation.
What warranty is provided?
OBR publishes a two-year limited warranty for new and remanufactured gearcases. Coverage is subject to OBR inspection and the complete warranty terms, including installation, use, maintenance and return requirements.
Is a refundable core charge required?
The Mariners Warehouse product page does not currently disclose a core charge. Confirm the exact core-deposit amount, return deadline, core condition and refund process before ordering.
What is included with the lower unit?
The verified included item is one OBR gearcase assembly in the selected SKU and condition. The exact inclusion of the water pump, anodes, mounting hardware, propeller hardware and installation components must be confirmed before publication.
Should the lower unit be professionally installed?
Professional marine installation is recommended. Correct lubricant, idle speed, shift linkage adjustment and break-in procedures are important for operation and warranty protection.
What break-in procedure should be followed?
Follow OBR's published gearcase instructions: add the required lubricant, set idle speed correctly, adjust shifting, avoid full-throttle starts, vary operating speed, stay below 75 percent throttle for the first five hours and avoid sustained full throttle during the next five hours.
Can an installed lower unit be returned?
Mariners Warehouse states that assembled, installed or used products are not eligible for a standard return. Fitment must therefore be confirmed before installation.
