Re: picture of leak

TD my 1971 50 hp does that. but that tells me yours doesnt :( I had the lower unit off yesterday and saw two holes going out of the drive shaft housing or tube. they both lead to the lower mount like the one in the picture. hope this isn't a bad thing

Is the seal on top of the water pump housing?

Re: picture of leak

if you are talking about the impellor pump housing grommet part # 0341732 or diagram# 75 then yes it is, in fact I smeared it up with some aviation form-a-gasket before i put it back together. hope something isn't wrong. my wife doesnt like me putting money into stuff like this.

Re: picture of leak

dunno about the leak, but the skeg looks ground down to me... looks like it wouldn't protect the prop from hitting bottom . ?
