    Lower Unit Oil Leak

    Agreed. I will change all the seals. The brass spacer popped off with a couple of taps from the slide hammer. I have ordered as service manual as well.

    Lower Unit Oil Leak

    Pressure test done. Not leaking at driveshaft and shifter seals. It is leaking at prop shaft seal. Should the brass spacer simply slide off the prop shaft? It seems struck, but I haven't really tried to get it off yet.

    Lower Unit Oil Leak

    Already drained the milk. No boat shops close by (friendly or otherwise). Waiting for a fitting to do pressure test and hopefully find the leak. Fresh water operation only, but I was also wondering about the internals.

    Lower Unit Oil Leak

    I see no evidence of leaks at the prop shaft. I guess I could pump the gearcase full of oil or beyond full and look for a visual confirmation. Or maybe fill it with something to also flush the sludge out. Regarding pulling the upper bearing carrier, videos indicate that after removing the...

    Lower Unit Oil Leak

    Thanks guys. I got a closer look at it today. As 90yam40 stated, the hole drains water from the cavity under the water pump (for us northerners). So, I guess that means the leak is in the driveshaft area. Can I get to the seal(s) from the top, or does the whole thing need to come apart...

    Lower Unit Oil Leak

    1987 200ELTH 2 stroke Oil leaks out this hole in the side of the lower unit. There was water in the gearcase. Is this the pitot hole for the speedo? If it is, might plugging the hole stop the leaking?

    Electric Shift Issue

    I have a 1972 65 Hp Evinrude. It recently broke down while running in forward. The forward shift button is still pushed in. I cannot push either the neutral or the reverse buttons. They will not lock-in. I have pulled the throttle all the way back to slow. What am I missing?

    Function of Airbox?

    What is the function of the airbox? I left it off my 1972 65 hp after I changed the fuel lines. I recently noticed that the foam insulation inside the cover is soaked with 2 stroke oil. Is this expected? Why? Thanks.

    1972 65 hp recommended WOT rpms

    What is recommended WOT rpm range for 1972 65 HP Evinrude? What would be an appropriate first guess at a good prop size for this motor on a light 11.5 ft ski boat? Current prop has no markings that I can find, but the boat runs at 41 mph (gps) with 1 person on board.

    Info on Humber Jewel Boat?

    Does anyone have information on Humber Jewel Ski boats made in the early 60's. I have one and would like to more about it. <br />Also, I am trying to find one with a windshield (they were palstic and did not stand the test of time) so I can get some measurements/pictures and attempt to make my own.
