lower unit reservoir

[rickasbury]

So, fixing the stuff I screwed up taking my motor out...I noticed the reservoir had some grud in the bottom of it when it drained out so I saw what looked like a nut on the bottom of it- figured I'd unscrew it and clean it out. Bad move. Something broke and now it leaks. Never did come apart. Any idea if this is repairable?

Ayuh,..... Maybe epoxy,........ or replace it,.....

I see they are only 50 bucks or less.....not to bad..

a bit of carb cleaner would have cleaned it without damaging it.

better go and get a new one. they are not "expensive" if your engine is a 4.3 or 5.0 I think use same part number
quicksilver 8M0075709 ← 806193A13 around $45.00

Yep, did look that up....that's the least of my worries for getting this back together and $$$!

Thanks,
