Lower Legs for K&B 3.5 Outboards

51-8901 Standard Lower Leg

Introduced in the 1970's

This is the standard lower leg which exhausts through the lower leg. Used since almost the beginning. This will replace any lower leg which has a screw in prop shaft housing.

This will fit early production version with the small skeg and screw in prop shaft housing.
