help! got a '95 force 40 hp. been a good engine so far. only had it about 8 months. been out with it twice. but this time water started coming out between the adapter plate real bad. i did not know it until the engine started missing while on the lake. when i pulled the cover off, water was puddled all around power head. now this is the first of my two problems. the second is i have never worked on a boat engine before. lawn mowers - yes, motorcycles - yes, chainsaws - yes. but never a boat engine. question- do i have to pull the power head off or take the thing apart from the bottom? also when i changed the oil in the foot before heading out to the lake ( i am a true blue believer in regular service) i noticed a lot of metal in the oil. it was not milky but it had a lot of metal in it. do i need to rebuild the foot while i am at it or is th normal?
any help will be greatly appreciated. also need torqe specs too
