" this is a 1975 chrysler 75 horse outboard.just did the lower unit after upper bearing failure.new bearing and seal,water pump.filled lower unit and took to the lake. everything was fine,next day all was fine then saturday i noticed everytime we stopped i could smell 90wt. well got a mile from landing and bearing sounded bad again so just above idle back to landing to load boat,got home and removed drain and fill plugs and nothing but water? so now the lower end has to come off again but what happened to the gear oil? could the water pump have sucked it out and with a new seal i don't see how.the shaft looked o.k. when i did it the first time. now parts were not cheap and i am about broke,but i want it right. should i take it to the chrysler guy and pay an arm and a leg or should i just get more new parts? new shaft? thanks for your help.
