I did see they had some good prices for new lower units, I might go that route instead. And yes I did put a new seal on the prop shaft as well as new seals on the bearing carrier.
I’ll have to test a lower PSI
At this point I’m thinking of just buying a used lower unit and replacing completely. I’ve found a few used online that would be worth the money. How do I tell what size shaft it is? Is it a measurement of the actual driveshaft? I’ve removed my lower unit, here’s a picture
Freshwater only motor and yes removed the 2 retaining bolts and am pulling with 2 long threaded rods screwed into the threaded holes with my gear puller. The puller just wants to spin off of my prop shaft because of the amount of force it’s needing
I also just did the pressure test and when pumping 20 PSI into the gear case, after about 5 seconds I can hear hissing coming out of the area behind the prop. Is this a sign of a leak?
Yes, when I winterized I pumped new oil in from the bottom fill screw until it came out of the top screw. But I’m confused on your comment, shouldn’t the oil not be able to leak out in any way?
I have a bass boat with a 150hp outboard. Last season I had to do a tear down on the lower unit and reseal the gear case after I noticed water dripping out of the gear oil drain screw. After I did the reseal, the boat ran great for the whole summer. There was no sign of water getting into the...
Was curious if anybody knows where to find an open pouch like this that can be mounted upright. I’m not even sure what to call this thing, but have searched around for an hour and couldn’t find anything similar. It’s mostly just to cover the open hole that exposes my gas tank in between my two...
Success! I was able to fit a file in between the clutch dog and drive shaft and after a few taps on the prop shaft she popper right out. Thank you so much for your help.
