    Mercury 4 stroke 4 hp - lower unit reinstall trouble

    Hi I replaced the water pump and now I’m having a hell of a time trying to reinstall the lower unit. I’ve tried slowly spinning the shaft to line it up. Nothing. Been trying for 7 hours total now. Does anyone know of a trick? Or a great YouTube link that shows how. I’m broken hearted...

    I can see it dripping at the bottom part of the drive where it comes into the boat and it drips into the bilge area. It most be a bellow. I may not be able to see a crack.

    Hello I don’t see any cracks in any of the bellows. They look like in good shape from what I can see. Any thoughts would be appreciated. It’s frustrating.

    Thank you for your help on this. I just looked and I don’t see any cracks in the bellows. So I’m not sure why it’s leaking in the up position. Any other ideas?

    I did not check them. This is the first inboard I’ve owned. Is this something I could fix without bringing in?
