Now this is just MY opinion, but If you are trying to sell it (which I think you are) you will have better far luck it if looks AND works right.
It is hard enough to sell a brand new I/O no less a used one that has obviously met up with the rocks. Also, when a buyer comes along and asks questions...your going to have to bs him. You have to take it apart anyway to inspect it...why not fix it? Unless you just want change the gearcase lube and forgetabout.

Ask yourself this question:
Would you buy a used I/O that hit the rocks and the seller said...its OK, it just looks bad, I fixed it with a pair of vise grips and a hammer. The prob is dinged...but don't worry about it. No one will touch this and if they do expect very low offers as if they were planning a total replacement.
