Default Re: Lower Unit Lubricant

Hi Builder,

There is a product called "Seallube" which when added to LU oil swells the seals stopping the water intrusion into the LU. If the seals are really bad, Seallube may not work, but it's worth a try. Also, full synthetic lower unit oil can take alot more water than standard 90 hypoid LU oil before breaking down. My Yamaha 150 LU takes about 1.5 quarts of oil and I add 2 oz of Seal Lube to it when I change it. I bought the Seallube on Ebay. One of the V20 gurus (I forget which one) swears by Seallube. !
