      not enough.
      are you sure the model number is a px?
      the Dx was a twin rotating prop EFI.
      most folks put a single prop lower on them if the original D twin prop case failed.
      the PX was only out for about 3 years.
      however both powerheads were almost identicall.

        Power head is a px150. Looks like lower unit came off a dx150 but it only has one prop. It has the water intake on the nose and a different base plate than the px lower unit.

            the DX case was and always will be a twin prop counter rotating case.
            similar to the volvo or bravo III.
            however most any 2.6L case with the correct shaft length will physically fit the midsection.
            what part number plate did you finally buy?

                it came from the dx150, but my power head is a px150 according to the plate on side of the motor. Someone before me changed lower units i guess, anyway ordered new head and head cover gaskets and plan on pulling heads and cleaning them out. maybe head gaskets have a small leak and that is what causing my overheating at high RPMS

                  this is the px150 water pump kit, see the different sizes of base plates, i thought they sent me the wrong water pump kit at first but i now realize my lower unit was a different model.
