I have a 2000 or a 2001 25 hp long shaft elect start o/b. The motor has less than 35 hours on it and it has been sitting for idle for three years.
I noticed the other day that oil is dripping from the skeg on the lower unit. I am thinking that the seals or "O" rings near or around the prop shaft are leaking.
I used to work on o/b motors in the 60's and 70's but haven't touched one since then. Is there any specail about this lower unit that I should be aware of?
Where can I cat a factory manual for this motor, my local dealer won't sell me one.
Thank you for your time in advance, Kurt
