    Evinrude gearcase wont drop

    But one thing.. should there be a backer nut on the end of the rod? As a stop? Or just rod threaded into the bottom no nut?

    Evinrude gearcase wont drop

    Yes. I actually measured height, I have to replace the shift rod o-ring.. I measured the height before I unscrewed the rode in order to remove the housing and slid the housing off the rod to access the o-ring. There was gear oil dripping down the back of the gear case on hot days.. and coming...

    Evinrude gearcase wont drop

    I got all the bolts out.. the shifter rod is disconected.. why won't this thing just slide down.. I got one bolt in and once I loosen it the gear case slides about 1/8" and stops.. it wiggles just doesn't want to come the rest of the way. Can anyone help? Am I missing somthing??

    Okay, ill drain thrower unit. Make sure there is no water. I also don't know if my tank has a vent. Might out one on. It's a permanent tank. But let me investigate and I'll get back. Would fuel constantly run out? I feel like it's alot for 1 day of sitting.

    I've also left the motor down and lower unit level.. now I'm thinking it's fuel.. because it was blue the first time I seen it.. and the 2 stroke oil I put in the fuel is blue. ... carb rebuild? Fk..

    Maybe it is fuel.. I cant really smell it now. And its a dirty brown. Thin substance

    Well to be honest.. it only runs out when the motor is tilted up. But it looks to be coming from around the shaft. I will send pic.

    Where can a guy get a kit of seals? And I'm not good with terms as of.. case, bearing carrier. Can I just take off the lower unit? Would be easier?

    I dont belive so. It smells like lower unit oil. Does fuel ever leak from down there? Idk why fuel would be down there. It leaks from around that shaft inside the red circle on the picture. I don't believe its coming from above.
