First time on this forum.
I just bought the river boat my 87 year old dad used to own from the guy he sold it to 10 years ago and I'm trying to get the motor back up in top notch order. When I first tested the motor, it ran well and pump was pushing water out of pee hole. When I drained lower unit, it was milky white, so I replaced impeller and gaskets and then lower unit oil-- thanks to Youtube. I just ran it at the launch and there is no water coming out, and there seems to be more than usual oil on top of the water. Suggestions? I know the key lock is in and I think I did everything else, but this was my first time doing the impeller and gaskets on my own. Any suggestions? I did check water hose and it's clear too. I know I put the O ring on shaft, but I am second guessing myself if I put a second one on after the impeller...if that was something I needed to do. Just hoping to get some help before I pull the lower unit again. Thanks for any help you can offer.
