Last turn into ramp and the starboard motor started whining like a stuck pig. I pulled it out of gear and finished the trip on one motor. Upon arriving home we checked the lower unit of the whiny motor to the other motor and found a noticable rattle and play in the prop shaft. When flushing (I still use the old method) the whiny motor it had a definite clanking going on down there. I drained the oil this morning and found about two tablespoons of water in the oil, no metal that I could tell.
I know I'm in for a rebuild to some degree. I am asking if a normal person could accomplish this at home, under an oak tree, with a case or two of his favorite brew on hand, and a buddy that has an unlimited supply of high quality tools with much mechanical experience in other types of engines.
Thanks for the reply in advance, Chuck
