hey guys. bought the boat last spring and ran it a few times. changed the oil in the lower unit and it looked great.
the two screws have what looked like some sort of plastic washer on them (i guess).....well, after changing the oil i couldn't find the washer for one of the screws so i used an o-ring.
ran it probably 3-4 times since and just changed the oil again to ready for the winter and there is a bit of water in it now. i believe that my o-ring is the problem.
are all of these type screws pretty standard? can i order them somewhere?
many thanks.

That orifice, screw, is not machined for a o-ring. You need the flat, nylon washer.
