You use the same oil in the lower unit as you mix in the fuel? I didn't know you could do this (?)

[@FishHuntCookTinker]

Same brand name. Different weight and type of oil. Thank you for watching!

I have water in my lower unit where could it be coming from? Like can you tell me what all deals it could be coming from

[@josephreinsch143]

Where do you get those gaskets out to replacement?

[@jackfarrell4727]

I have the very same motor on my pontoon boat. Lower unit was full of water. I did a pressure test and it was not holding for long. I'm gonna change the seals but unsure if I should change bearings. They seem to be fine. It feels smooth when I turn prop shaft. Engine ran great and shifts fine before I took it out of water. I would appreciate your advice.

[@FishHuntCookTinker]

I am sorry to hear that. Thankfully I have never had that issue. Although with everything it’s always a matter of time. I’m no expert on this, but to me when you get water in your bearings for a amount of time it’s not good for them. It is a bit of a gamble in my opinion. They may be just fine for a year or two. Or they could go out next trip. If they are smooth and were not setting in water for a long time you probably will get some time out of them, but I would check them after every trip.

@@FishHuntCookTinker thanks for your input brother, I have decided to go through the entire lower unit and be sure it is done right.

[@FishHuntCookTinker]

You are welcome. That is probably your best bet. That will give you confidence on the water.

What prop are you running

[@FishHuntCookTinker]

To be honest I am not sure. It has been on the motor since 1996 or so. I will see if I can figure out what it is and let you know. Thanks for watching!
