There’s milky oil in my driveshaft bellows. What’s odd is I drained my lower unit the day before and the oil was black, not milky. So I don’t think it’s coming from the gearbox. Is it possible the ripped bellows allowed water to wash the grease out of the u joints and created the milky mess? Or is my input shaft seal definitely leaking. Thanks.

Drain and pressure test drive. Likely a failing carrier seal from your description

@@tedsmarinerepair8956 I think it’s actually the seal that rides on the driveshaft yoke

Exact same thing is happening to mine right now

@@FBIsurveillance62 it’s the seal and yoke on the input shaft of your gearbox. Both need to be replaced

Nice video man! Ive been lookin for a new shifter arm brass washer. And i cant find it anywhere? I bought a quicksilver shiftcable set, with the arm, cable and bellow. And i only find this little plastic thing in the set. I was thinkin this was going to be in the old brass socket, but it doesnt fit so idk where i should get a New brass washer like u got in this video. I need a New sealer cuz the old one is just a ring left 🙈

Thanks so much for your very through and easy to understand step by step video guide. The special tools you made are also a huge plus. I removed my outdrive during winterization after moving from FL to SC and saw some bellows issues. I noe feel very confident with taking on a complete outdrive servicing.
