I have a 1991 3.0L Mercruiser with an alpha one gen 2 outdrive. I pulled the lower unit today to fix my leaking shift shaft seal and to replace the water pump. I followed the manual for everything and installed a new water pump face seal. Problem is that there wasn't an old one on there. I looked in the upper unit and can't see it there either. Is that weird or what?
I also pulled the prop to lubricate the shaft and there was a weird crust between the thrust hub and the bearing carrier assy. It chipped off pretty easy but it looks like it may have had a bit of metal in it at one time. Is it a part that I am now needing to replace or is it just hard water crust?
