Just winterized the boat and I have 2 issues I need to deal with before spring.
1. Starbord engine.I just drained the lower gear oil and it came out a milky grey color. Water is leaking into the lower unit. I am assuming it is seals that need replacing. Has anyone tried to do this job themselves? I am not sure how big a job it is and I am considering trying to do the job myself.
Both engines a 200HP Yamaha 2 strokes 1991.
2. Port engine has been dropping down about 5 or 6 inches when sitting at the marina for a few days. I believe it is a hydrolic seal that needs replacing. The questions is does the engine have to be removed from the transom in order to be fixed? Is it a big job?
Any help with these questions would be appreciated.
