'84 50HP Mainer lower unit seals

[scruffy_fish]

When I drained the lower unit for winterizing, the oil was a creamy white color. (Water in the lube symptom?) <br />Question: Can the prop. shaft seals be the problem and can they be changed without taking the whole lower unit apart on the bench? <br />Any help would be appreciated.

Looked into a Cylmers shop manual, looks like the prop seal repalcement will need bench work. Thought I might be able to do it without removing the LU. <br />Must have been a dum question, didn't know so I thought I'd ask.

You need not remove the gearcase to change the propshaft seals.<br /><br />TMD
