Okay, So I bought this old boat and when I finally got it rollin, it runs great, one problem, when I pulled it out of the water, it is leaking lube from what looks like the seals between the lower unit housing to the motor, what gasket do I need, I cant find it anywhere online!!! Help me someone please!!!!

Thanks,

Jess

usually where the lower unit and midsection meet are not sealed. there is nothing in that area that needs to be sealed that isnt already on its own. there could be a slight leak in the exaust housing and what you are seeing is residual unburnt oil from the gas, or you could have a leak on the top of the lower unit itself.

Gotcha!!

Thank you very much, I know very little about boats but I am learning fast with this guy. I have to take the lower unit off to replace my impeller anyways so hopefully I can figure it out there.
