Reverse Gearbox
There's one on flea bay at the moment. It is missing the bevel pinion and has a nasty coat of blue paint. Ebay number is 310109370142 - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0109370142

The blue is a standard 170 colour early in their production
Say's it's missing the bevel pinion, often a real pig to extract, so unlikley, probably means a crown wheel, but with that, the drive spring , spring carrier & prop, more than £100 to rebuild unless you have the parts.
As all the powerheads that take the FNR box require different props if might well pay you to wait for a dead complete motor to turn up & save yourself from having to buy the complete transom bracket as well, just so you can use reverse!

Having read other posts on Rotogulls once cleaned up a liberal coat of copper grease has been advised to stop small particles of sand grit and salt water jamming up as it turns. Are you using it on a 40+?

Life is what you make it, and what you make could change your life.
Apologies for my ignorance on model 170 colours (and in general!). There is one Crownwheel for the reverse gearbox also for sale for £65 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/British-Seagull-o ... 240%3A1318
Affirms the suggestion to hold out for a complete one!

That is about the list price for a new one.
But John probably has a new one in stock that you should be able to purchase for much less than that, that will come with a warranty.
One gets the impression that this seller is trying make the very most of his items.
After seeing items like this I tend not to ever look at this type of vendors items again unless they're exceptional.
