Well if it's like that then leave it. My memory of one I had for a short time on a tri hull was that it was impossible to see over the transom. You physically had to stand up and walk back there to see. But it had a tall transom and was a big boat. If you can see water pumping from the driver's seat that's good enough for me. Man that was a nice boat tho, 62 I think all original in nice shape. Sad I flipped it. But I guess that was the plan from the moment I dragged it out of the barn.

You are supposed to use a special tool to remove the bearing. That damages the bearing and it must be replaced. Trade secret, no special tool? Chuck the housing in a lathe and bore it out enough to push the seal and bearing out.
That’s the problem…. it’s letting water in, and making a milkshake. Don’t suppose using a oil additive (Lucas stop leak) would swell the seal enough to stop the leak? The complete assembly is available $175 if I remember correctly. Comes with bearing and seal. Your thoughts?

I have no idea how this happened. It ran flawlessly for me the few times I took it out. Probably drove the boat 6 times throughout the repairs I did to get it running. He bought it from me at the end of the winter without test driving it.
What is the significance of the prop it has on it?
Can you circle the parts in question on the diagram for me so I know what I’m looking for? Also would there be evidence in the gear oil if damage to said parts?
That is the prop we used to run on our old 90. It is a Small hub prop, instead of the larger hub props that were the other choices

I know the I/Os with that case, had an option of a 14" pitch, something that didn't show up on the Outboard Lists. Our 90 on the Evinrude Sweet 16 did 4400 with the 11" prop, and 4800 with the 9 1/4"
