Lower Unit

[rhedges]

Has anyone ever had the lower unit of a smaller outboard apart? If so, how hard was it to disassemble and reassemble?

Sure. It was easy. Another one I did was hard though.<br />You know we're going to need some specifics.

Re: Lower Unit

how small are we talking here. Small as in under 10hp? Small motors without a clutch are really easy to disassemble although some times the seals around the shafts can be tricky to remove.

Re: Lower Unit

Major vibration when I put it in gear. Defniatley not the prop. I bonked it a while back. Worked fine for about 4 or 5 outings. Then the vibrations started.
