Yamaha 115 lower unit oil leak

[patjay6666]

I have a 1986 115 and it leaks oil out around the prop . I think their maybe o rings or gaskets that may be bad . The manual says their are ball bearings and spacers and such down there . How hard is this to fix ? I'm pretty mechanically incined, but don't want to get in over my head . Is this a easy fix or will alot of parts fall out when I pull this apart ?

hello<br /> that all depends on how hard the bearing carrier is corroded in place. some come out by hand and others will break 3 pullers and eat a half a bottle of acetylyne. is the motor run in saltwater?<br /> good luck and keep posting

Did you do the work you described? In other posts the message seems to be that this is excess oil from mixing by hand.
