Hey guys, the other day my girlfriend missed the outside of a bouey and went inside, ran my boat aground i have a useless prop and a bent prop shaft now. Boat is a 1989 bayliner capri 1950 with the OMC cobra drive/engine (302 v8) I/O
Here are my questions
Can the prop shaft be replaced without having to remove the lower unit (any tips or how-to or directions would be great)? I found some info on it but it is somewhat confusing and there was an assumtion that the lower unit was already removed.
I drained the oil from the lower unit and the upper unit drained too, is that normal?
also after i brought the boat back home it started leaking fluid out of the propeller shaft area, i guess i will need a new lower seal kit?
anybody have a good shape prop shaft they want to sell??
