i would change the screws and gaskets. they only run a few bucks..bill


Hiya,

Bingo on this one. If memory serves me correctly on many gear lube screws there are nylon/plastic washers that need replacement now and then. If one of those has gone bad, it can allow water in over time. I would highly suspect those to be the issue, and your problems solved with a quick replacement.

I just drained mine and found that last time I changed the oil the nylon washer stuck in place and I didnt noice, so this time one screw had 2 washers while the other didnt have one and there was a little water in my lower unit.. paying attention to the little things can often save you from the big things later on!
