I was changing the impeller on my 40 hp 2002 3 cyl mercury and I noticed some small cracks in the rubber shift boot.
Clearly it should be replaced, but I'm wondering if that is supposed to provide a water tight seal or if its more to keep crud out. In other words, if it's had holes in it and been run in the water should additional things be checked?
I haven't drained the gear oil yet but when I do I imagine I'll get a better indication of what's been able to leak through.
