Morning all from New Zealand. I tried the search function, couldn't find anything.
I bought a trailer. It had a boat and motor sitting on it, so I have decided to get it all working.
I started at the bottom, let the gearbox oil out.
The gearbox was full of water, looks like the fibre washer wasn't replaced on the top screw.
I took the prop off, sprayed the seal in "snoop" gas leak fluid, and puffed a bit of air into the box - no bubbles so I dont think the seal is had it. But there was no lubricating oil, so I am thinking its prudent to inspect the innards before I spend any more on the motor, which I know has other issues.
Does the bearing carrier come out by rotating the entire assembly with the castellated edges anti clockwise ? Any tip or tricks ?
Thank you,
Dave
