Hello Iboaters, its been a long time since I have posted here. The members here have always helped me and have gotten my boat up and running multiple times. So I have come back with a new problem, and I am a little concerned that there is no remedy.
So I took off the lower unit from the upper unit to change the impeller and to inspect things. I had some gear oil coming out of the exhaust area behind the prop....
When I pressure checked the out drive, I heard noises and started spraying soapy water everywhere. So I found a leak at the bottom of where the exhaust water exits behind the prop, right at the seam of the ehaust area and the gear housing. I have attached a picture from the service manual where the leak is....this is a metal surface, and I am afraid that means that my lower unit is toast? Can this be repaired somehow? Its near impossible to get your hands down there or anything like that....
Any advice or help thrown my way would be appreciated!
THANKS!
