greetings all, im hoping for some insight and direction on my evinrude 15 home motor.
warning, I am mechanically inclined but little in regards to marine motors
motor has been running great for some time and still does, when I took boat out of the water for a month to do some work, I noticed some tan, grey goo, pasty type stuff coming out the 3 slots in the lower unit. I took it to a mechanic and he said he drained the gear oil but it was more like tooth paste and he never seen anything like it before. he put new oil in after checking compression which was good.
a week later, ,I emptied gear oil again,it was the same tan, greasy toothpaste.
Anyone shed some light on this for me, please ,
thanks Rick
