I just pulled my lower unit off of my 93 40hp force and found a torn rubber seal laying down inside. I assume this is the seal that goes between the water pump housing and the water tube.
How important is this seal? Can the engine still be run without it? I ran it out on the lake 4 times already before taking the LU off without any problems.
Just looking for thoughts on this connection between water pump housing and the water tube.

Re: Water tube seal

Might be the shift rod seal. Depends on motor type. Check it out on your Clymar manuel. Check the lower unit gear oil for water.
