FORCE L-DRIVE 120 HP<br /><br />How hard is to take the lower unit down to check the U_HOUSING, U_JOINT condition and perform some lube maintenance on that area of the engine ?<br /><br />I am not a mechanic, but have diagrams of the lower engine. I am planning to do some maintenance on that part of the engine without touching the gears.<br /><br />1) Is this something that requires a mechanic to <br /> do ? <br /><br />2) What parts do need to be maintained constantly on the lower unit ?<br /><br />Thanks a lot!<br /><br />boating_is_fun (sometimes)
