Re: spray decarb or addidive

$200!! A deep socket will work fine. Check the fluid as it drains from the lower unit - water, real 'milky' color, or metal grit is bad news; otherwise you're OK. Refill with fresh outboard lower unit fluid. Use FRESH gaskets on the drain & fill screws, and even a bit of sealant on the threads if you like. Put grease, or OMC gasket sealer, on the propshaft when you re-install the prop in the spring - this way the prop won't corrode & stick on. I spray down the outside of the powerhead (under the cover) with OMC 6-n-1. It's sort of like WD40 but with some soft wax in it, does a great job of slowing corrosion and keeping the wires dry.
