I was walking by the boat yesterday and noticed gear oil leaking rite around the anti cavitation plate, seems like it could be coming from the shift shaft area. never experienced this one before. what kind of a job am I looking at on this one ,or is it the kind of thing where I should just pull the drive and get it checked out ??

shift shaft seal, not a biggie, drop the lower like you're going to put a water pump in. Buy the special tool to remove the shift shaft bushing, its not that much, screw the old bushing out, screw the new one in. Look at the seal surface on the shift shaft, if its worn, replace the shift shaft(pulls straight out once the bushing has been removed). The older ones were steel and corroded, the newer ones are stainless. Look at the splines on the end of the shaft as well, if they are eroded, replace the shaft. Put a water pump in while you have it apart
