"About 1 month ago I hit a roc
"About 1 month ago I hit a rock and broke my prop, skeg, and cracked my lower case. I replaced the prop and welded my case up and there are no leaks. During this process I had to remove the lower case from the upper and when I did the paper gasket tore and I did not have access to one so I just used permatex to make one. I took the boat out and it ran great but when I got it out I checked the grase and it was low and had water in it. There were no obvious leaks anywhere but I pulled the prop off and there was greasy water in behind it. So my question is did I damage something internally when I hit that rock or did I do something wrong when I put the lower unit back on? Or will the permatex not work for that application? Thanks in advance"
