When you pull a lower unit or gearcase, the “where do I set it” problem shows up immediately. The 6-piece, 3D-printed lightweight lower unit stand from Buckshot Racing #77 x Code Red Racing & Design is built to hold most legacy 2-stroke Mercury gearcases safely and upright for light service work and storage.
 
At only 2.4 lbs, it’s easy to move around the shop or boat race site, yet stable enough to keep a gearcase from tipping, scuffing, or getting damaged.
 
This stand is built with the Mercury Racing logo fused into the design, giving it a clean motorsports look that matches the performance hardware it supports.
 
What do I need it?
This stand is made to support a lower unit/gearcase right after removal from the midsection, or right before installation when you’re staging parts, prepping splines, checking shift shaft alignment, or doing last-minute cleanup. It’s also ideal for storage, keeping the gearcase upright and off the floor.
 
Gearcases and engine families it supports
The stand is designed around the gearcase families most commonly found on 2.0 Liter, 2.4 Liter, and 2.5 Liter Mercury two-stroke builds. That includes mainstream and performance gearcases like Sportmaster, Torquemaster, CLE, and Fleetmaster, plus race gearcase families such as SSM #4 and SSM #6.
 
It also supports the race and catalog naming people search for, including SST-120, APX 200, APX 250, and APEX 360, along with F1H2O and IHRA F1 gearcases commonly associated with high-output racing applications and legacy Mercury performance setups.
 
Lightweight Design
The stand uses a 6-piece structure assembled with 12 stainless screws, providing rigidity without the bulk of a metal cradle. At 2.4 lbs, it’s easy to carry, easy to store, and quick to set up—perfect for race teams and shops where space and time matter.
 
Why a dedicated stand helps?
Lower units are awkward shapes with weight in the wrong places. A dedicated stand gives you a stable landing spot so you’re not balancing a gearcase on a skeg, leaning it against a bench, or damaging any surfaces. It’s a simple tool that keeps your workspace cleaner and your parts safer.
