Hi All,
I just noticed something quite disturbing. I finished my winterizing last week. I changed the gear lube - no water, looked almost new.
I was moving my boat into winter storage, and I noticed that the water inlets on the lower unit are clogged with barnacles on the inside. I assume the only way to clean them out is to disassemble the lower unit. I have never done this.
Removed the lower yes, but never taken it apart.
How difficult is this? I'm pretty mechanically inclined, just not sure if I should take it to a pro. I have the factory OMC manual. Any hints, or advice?
Thanx, all.
