Thank You! My lower unit lube is milky, getting water in from someplace. never worked on a outboard before. is this something I can try to fix or is it a difficult task finding and repairing?

If you have a Manual and the right tools it is doable, Butche. Don't try it without them.<br /><br />Good luck.
