My lower unit on my 1957 evinrude fleetwin is getting water in it . When I opened the lower drain plug after you times out on the water . It had about one tablespoon full of water in it . you can tell the water came out fast than the oil came out of the lower unit .
How hard is it to change the seals in the lower unit on a 1957 evinrude fleetwin 7.5 . I rebuilt the powerhead last spring and its fine . But the lower unit has some water in it . I see that the kit is like 25.00 and the impeller kit is like 32.00 dollars . I wouldn't want to skip a step in rebuilding the lower unit . What would it involve me disassembling on it . Would you see a worn out shaft for the prop and the drive shaft . thats the only places it could leak to me , maybe more places too Im over looking on this . I wont do this untill I have some money for the parts needed . I only want to replace the parts that need replacing too . why wast money on stuff I dont need in the first place . So this job wont take place untill its near spring, like march or so . That gives me time to order the parts from the internet .
