Hi everyone, Doing a Rebuild on my 80 Horse Merc. When I pulled the powerhead off, I noticed a lot of greasy, gummy build up inside the Lower Unit. I belive this to be the exsaust port? (where the powerhead and lower unit mate together). Is this normal. Should this be cleaned out and how should this be done.
