Took my '95 Bayliner, 4.3 Alpha One to the lake this weekend. Noticed before I took it out of storage there was some gear lube at the bottom of the lower unit. Figured it was just some my sloppiness when I winterized, so just wiped it off and went boating.
Took it out of the water and now that everything is dry, getting new gear oil down there. Looks as if it is coming from the tiny speedo hole up front and dripping down from there. I'm guessing there's a bad seal there? Speedo still works (as good as it ever did.)
Looked at my book and it appears there's a bunch of little parts in that area along with a couple of seals. Looks like a fairly simple process to remove the lower unit without any special tools (Am I wrong?)
Once I get it off, what am I looking for? Will it be obvious? Any other easy stuff I should do while I've got the lower unit off? (Assuming someone doesn't talk me out of doing this myself.)
Thanks for your help on this!
