Just puchased a 2000 bayliner
Just puchased a 2000 bayliner with the merc 4.3 w/ Alpha One leg. After running the boat for a few weekends I noticed that the gear oil was leaking out of a small drain hole on the lower unit housing on the opposite side of the drain plug(slow leak). I removed the lower unit to check the seals in the shift shaft and to replace the impeller and water pump gaskets. When I had the water pump cover off I noticed that oil was slowly dripping out of the driveshaft into the water pump. Does this mean I need to fix the drive shaft seals or is this normal?? Do the impeller gaskets stop this leak?
