I have oil leaking out of here. It looks like the oil from the lower unit. Here is a picture and I circled where the oil is coming out from.
I tried to winterize the engine by running all of the gas and water out of it. After doing this I noticed the oil coming out. It might be normal. It...
1985 Champion Super V 175hp Merc.
There is space for three batteries. I use two.
I just had to replace the trolling motor battery. I don't use it much so I just got a cheap one that says marine.
