Default Re: Lower Unit Screws

If its water, *it will separate. *My 40HP Suzuki had water in the lower unit discovered during the fall drain. *Changed prop seals first because they were easiest to change. *Next year I had water again. *Pulled lower end and changed the shaft seals near water pump. *Result, no water the next year. *I've had four motors and all had washers or seals on the two screws. *Someone in an earlier post had said they changed their lower unit oil twice a season, middle and at the end of the season. *Reason given for mid season change was to catch a leak early before any major sugery was required. I thought it was a great idea but I haven't started the practice yet. *Good Luck! *Bill Mc *;D
