1999 Volvo penta 5.0gl with sx-m outdrive. My prop kept catching on something and killing the motor. I removed the lower unit bearing carrier and found this behind the carrier! I noticed the internal set screw for the bearing carrier was sheared because there is still a small piece of the bolt in the bolt hole that i cant get out(arrow is pointing to it). Also, i circled an area where it almost looks like the lower unit body is scalded. It is supposed to be like that right there behind the internal set screw? Do I have to have this internal set screw installed? What does it do and what scrap metal is this? Oh also, when i drained the oil there were tons of tiny metal flakes and about 2 or 3 shavings about 1/4" long which i believe is from these two scrap pieces i found. Other than this, this lower unit looks almost brand new, gears in lower unit look ok.
Thanks in advance for any info. I wanna get on the water.
