This bit is an interesting finding.<br /><br />Drained all the oil, milky and some water. Tilted the drive up, down to get the last bit out.<br /><br />Dropped the lower unit, drain plug was out and more oil drained when laid on its side. Moved it around while dismantling the shift shaft bushing and waterpump and base.<br /><br />With water pump base out and when drive was inverted, driveshaft pointing down, water came out through the driveshaft bearing cavity??? 
Thought there would be nothing left in there.<br /><br />That being the case, means:<br />1. If drive is water filled, the water pump base should be removed and drive inverted to clear any collected water as draining is not enough.<br /><br />Comments/experience?
