Lower Unit Oil Milky Last Couple Years At End Of Season. Last Season When Changing Oil About 1 Cup Or More Of Water Also Came Out With Milky Oil. Is This A Seal Behind Prop That Is Bad Or Seal At Impellar Area?

it could be either one. time to do a reseal kit on the lower unit. or change the oil more often. are you using new seals on the drain and vent screws everytime?

thanks for the reply. No I have never replaced any seals. Is it difficult to do seal kit?

Start with the gaskets under the vent and drain plugs, kcummins. That's a lot of water for just those gaskets, but they should be changed with every oil change.

Change those and try her out. If you still get water then reseal the whole foot, like Daddy suggests.
