Well as the title says, i continue to have problems with this thing, i've deemed it a piece of **** for sure.<br /><br />The problem is it keeps getting water in the lower end and in the oil, after replacing every seal in the lower end TWICE and a new water pump it continues to do it, anybody else have this same thing going on or know what to do? Also, this engine has NEVER idled right since i've had it (1998). It will idle in the yard with the water hose hooked to it but not in the water, i figure water of course is getting somewhere it shouldn't be. <br /><br />Thanks for any help in advance, and also this is my first post here<br /><br />-Chris-

Have your lower unit pressure tested. It will show your leak. As for your idle you may want to set it on the water as the back pressure from being submerged will have an effect.
