So I had a driveshaft strip out on my lower unit. How do I go about replacing the driveshaft with one from a parts lower unit?
I did vacuum and pressure test it. I admittedly did not adjust the backlash and pinion height. I measured those before and installed everything using the same measurements. I was banking on the fact that it had been set up correctly in the first place.
You might get a day, you might get a year, but it is only a matter of time before the gears go out and you are back to square one.
Does the replacement have 3 more years of warranty coverage
...One of my issues I'm having is that lower units are failing on a regular basis...
... I think a 17p would over-rev.
.....Also, what is the reason for not using the o-ring on the lower unit driveshaft?
