While filling the gear lube from the bottom screw I filled the lower unit. I put the top screw in loose and pumped a few times softly to get the rest filled, as some leaked out without the top screw in place. While I pumped the lube some of it came out of a small weep hole just below the top screw as well as under the prop. I think the top screw was a little too tight to let air out and it went another direction. Does anyone know if there is a pressure release internally or did I blow out a seal? |
