    Hole on drive shaft housing

    Hi Guys, What is this hole for on the drive shaft housing? I also noticed that there was a silver nipple/nub in front of the shift shaft on the lower unit that it seems to line up/mate to. Water seems to gush from this hole when the motor is running on the hose. Thanks

    1988 90hp 3 cyl Elpto I understand that the original driven gear / worm gear is partially synthetic. I want to replace this with a new metal I've acquired. Is it as simple as taking off the oil pump and adapter assembly, pulling the gear then just replacing it? Or does the engine need to...

    Mariner 3-cyl 90hp idle

    Hi guys, What do you think of the idle here? This engine is circa 1988 I think. I reckon it's rough, but this is the first time owning one of these. It has brand new plugs in it. Comps are all even at 100 +/- 2. Sorry for the angle: https://youtu.be/hq5XbMuSdJM
