OK..I'm going to service my Lower unit since i pulled out the out drive off the boat for the winter....i was going to change the gear oil and literally water poured out for a few seconds, then the gear oil came out and it was green.:facepalm:
So now i'm waiting for a part i ordered so i can do a pressure test on the lower unit, but in the meantime i pulled off the lower unit Seal Carrier Assembly...and the shaft was very loose, my question is this suppose to be that loose? does the Seal carrier keep it from moving around and the water from the water pump impeller? or do i need new bearings? would this be the reason why had tons of water in my lower unit?........Thank You 1991 Mercruiser Alpha1 GenII 3.0L
