Hey,
I was at my local lake on the weekend, had a full day out having fun, the boat was running perfectly as usual, anyway loaded it back on the trailer and took it home. Only notice today that there was significant damage to the lower unit.
When I pulled it apart i noticed more and more damage followed by a heap of water in the lower unit along with no oil.
Previously its always held oil and never leaked. i'm guessing it i hit something and broke the seal and the gears munched them self. Either way I have a feeling I need a new lower unit.
