I'm missing the Zinc horseshoe after traveling a washboard road. Is there any harm in running without it in fresh water.. I see abundant exhaust bubbles boiling up in front of the outdrive. The horseshoe normally partially plugs the exhaust vent at this location. ???
3 Liter 181 will not pull forward from OMC Spline when trying to remove engine. It Moves Fwd about 1/2 inch , then no more, not even with come-along tugging it toward the bow. Frozen/Rusted Spline? (Yes, the six bolt are removed from the bell housing). OMG how much force can be applied to this...

I have a smooth running 3.0 liter GM in a 19ft SeaWhirl.
300rpm to 4200rpm smooth and strong in all waters.
I also have a scarry DRIP DRIP DRIP oil leak in the front of the engine, behind the dynamic balancer (A Front Main Seal?) or (Timing Gear cover gasket?):eek: About 1...
