Hi guys,
I bought my first outboard on craigslist this week and am very excited! It's a 1988 evinrude 6 hp.
It starts and runs good but when I carried it in my shed, layed it down for a while, and picked it back up I noticed a leak of gear oil. There seems to be a little hole on the underside of what I think is called the cavitation plate where the oil is coming from. I drained the gear oil and it was a little milky but not too bad.
Is this hole necessary or could I just weld/ jb weld it?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Jack
