While changing the oil on my Yamaha 200 saltwater series I was using a hand pump on a gallon jug of 90# gear oil. After filling to capacity I replaced the level check plug (top) and keeping positive presssure on the pump prepared to replace the bottom screw. In so doing I apparently put to much pressure on the pump and forced a little oil through the rear seals. After cleaning up and resetting everything,the rear seals have been dry ever since. I have run the boat once, still dry. Dealer says they are not blown, just expanded a little and resealed as designed. Questions: Am I alone or has someone else seen this, Are there seals at the other end of the shaft I coulda screwed up, anybody have lower unit expertise that will share the knowledge. Reel Therapy.. on the couch and waiting. Ya'll hurry this time is expensive!
