Hey everyone…. Just came back from evening cruise. Cruising very slow 950 RPM's I felt a gentle hit from the bottom and my steering wheel moved a bit. (not shallow water) maybe a piece of wood. I didn't think much about it, but when I got back to the lift and lifted it out of the water everything looked perfect except the "grounding" strap had broken off (tiny wire) but when I went to trim it up, it made a very different sound, and to make a long story short almost all my hydraulic fluid was in the bilge and the outdrive of course will not raise. I got down into the bilge and traced the lines into where it goes into the transom.
My BIG concern is how do I get to these lines as there is almost no room behind the engine. Could this be done by removing the drive, or is there a way to do it from the engine compartment?? Any Diagrams?
Thanks very much!
Rick
