"I have a 4.3l engine, with alpha 1 gen II outdrive. I have reamoved the lower unit that holds the impeller and it looked fine. No fins were gone and very little wear, and I know it has not been changed for at least 4-6 years if at all (boat 2001).
BUT, when I lowered the lower unit, there was a fairly large piece of scale resting on the unit. A piece maybe as large as a 1/2 dollar.
Should I reinstall this lower unit, and look for more scale, or should I leave this off to be able to flush more scale out? OR should I sell the boat and get a new one?????? (just kidding, but who doesnt want a new boat?)
Thanks for any help!!!!!
