Had a small oil leak at the lower unit... Decided to replace the spaghetti gasket and include some gasket in a tube for good measure. I dropped the skeg and cleaned everything then as I was putting it back together... The guts came dropping out. I cleaned all parts and reinstalled them. Now... the prop shaft would spin very very freely (with a pinky finger) before this operation. Now it still spins but requires a bit more force... Not sure why... I took it to the lake and ran it for about 30 seconds and it shifts well and seems to turn the prop... I stalled due to I think a carb issue... Am I worrying about nothing? Or should it be super easy to spin.
