I dropped the lower, was careful to watch for anything falling, springing, flying etc. Nothing happened. Lower unit dropped right off. Got the housing off to discover a brand new looking impeller. Maybe I am paranoid after what happened. Will post pics of everything when mom gets off the computer. I was expecting a much larger housing and impeller. But like in my above post I have only done Yamahas. On the splines on the driveshaft, is it supposed to have a groove on the side of the splines? They all look too perfect to be wear. And I had a blue oily crap on the front of the mating surface of the lower unit. Based on it being blue is it two stroke oil? Also how much up and down play should I have in the driveshaft?
