Hi all. I'm new here and hope some one can help.
I've been lucky for the past few years with my 3.0L / 400 outdrive but the luck finally ran out. I was heading back in on the weekend when the rpm's shot up and the boat stopped.
Checked the prop, wasn't spun. Checked the oil in the lower end, looked perfect with no metal filings. Then checked the oil in the upper end. Milky as can be. Don't know how the water got in or what caused the boat to lose power.
I'm hoping it might be something I could tackle myself. Any ideas on where to start? What's the best shop manual to get?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick
