    Water in hubs.

    New #1250 hubs pre packed with seals on 1" shaft, no Bearing Buddies, still taking on water. Where the seal sits the metal is worn. Will a spindle seal kit eliminate this problem. Bearing Buddies just seem to pump the grease right through. Can't believe it's that hard to keep water out.

    I have a 72' longshaft evinrude 25hp #25253r. Never could understand what is suppose to lock this motor in the upright position. I have used a piece of wood in the past to keep the motor from falling back down. Can't see where or if it is missing any linkage. Any suggestions.

    Fuel question

    What exactly does the anti-siphon valve do? Wouldn't it restrict fuel from flowing to the motor. Not sure how it works and do I need one on my built in moeller gas tank. For the most part the motor sits higher than the fuel tank until the boat is pulled up on the beach.
