...anyone had to replace theirs? Can you do it without having to remove the outdrive and the shaft assy from the housing? I know that you would have to pull the motor.
I am dripping a little oil out of my bilge. It is either coming from the forward driveshaft seal or from the engine rear main seal. I cannot not tell by the residual evidence but last week, I drained my exhaust mani's into the bilge and let it run out onto the driveway.
Yesterday, as I walked by the boat I smelled a familiar but initially unidentifiable smell. It finally donned on me that the smell was distinctly of outdrive fluid. I looked around and saw a oily sheen on the water stream that had come out of the bilge, so I guess it is outdrive fluid. It is definitely coming from out of the bilge, not the outdrive itself.
