Hello everyone,
I'm having an issue where the drive shaft on my outboard is pitted at the water pump base seal and the upper water pump seal (its an old style pump 1963 merc 350). I was thinking of removing the shaft, filling with some sort of product like JB weld, and cleaning it up to the proper diameter. My question is, has anyone done this before with success? Any tips or pointers would be great.
Thanks
