Last summer I noticed gear lube leaking from the lower housing. Then I found milky looking lube in the lower case. I will need to order parts and seals. What recommendation - before I tear into the unit - does anyone have concerning parts? The water pump was replaced about 4 years ago and the engine may have 4 hours run time since then. I think the person that installed the pump may not have pressure tested the lower case after servicing the unit. Should I replace every seal in the lower unit along with the water pump or wait until I open it up to order parts? I will say that this has been a really good engine for all the many years at the coast. For the past few years I have kept it in fresh water.
