My Outboard is a Mercury 1997 40hp and serial is 0G465268
Recently, i flush my gear case oil and i found water in. I have change my prop shafts seals, fill with new oil and run the engine on muff.
After running above 10 minutes, the gear case oil is white again.
My questions :
1 - If water go in gear case when the engine run on the muff, the leak is probably the water pump base seals or shift shaft seal ???
2 - If the water pump base seal is bad, the gear case oil go up in water pump or the water go in gear case or twice ?
Thx and sorry for my bad english.... is not my first language.
