"The seals are shot in my 18 x
"The seals are shot in my 18 xd's lower unit and I am thinking about doing them myself. Is this a complicated task? I have done some pretty involved mechanical work in the past without too much trouble but I don't want to crack this thing open to find I need special tools.
Also, the recoil seems weak and struggles to draw the cord back up in cold temps (I do a lot of duck hunting). I have been told that this is a simple lubrication issue but I don't know what parts to lubricate and what to lubricate them with. I am planning on beggining the work this weekend so any input would be great!
