Welllll, noticed this problem after letting the boat sit at the dock overnight while camping at lake erie. Woke up and the boat is sunk, thank god the water was shallow. I've been putting this off for a long time b/c it looks difficult and i've never had one apart. The leaks are coming from the 3 or 4 rubber hoses where they've dry rotted and cracked. So i've got a couple questions
1. where can i find the parts?
2. what other parts should i replace while i have it that far apart?
3. Can someone point me in the direction of a good service manual for the engine/outdrive in general?
4. I'm fairly mechanically inclined, owned my own auto performance shop for about 5 years, but i've never had an outdrive apart.. what kinda difficulty am i getting into?
