"Hello and thank you for this

"Hello and thank you for this incredible forum. I have a 40 hp electric with a lower unit that has a small crack on the lower side near the drain plug. I would like your opinion as to what the proper course of action would be. I have a clymer manual which tells me nothing about dropping the lower unit on the electric model. I would like to break it down and have the piece welded, then rebuild it. What would you suggest?"

If that unit is cracked to a point whereas water can enter the gearcase, and it has sat for a period of time, I would suspect that problems exist within."

"I am referring to draining and refilling the lower unit oil. That being said. it has been a season, with oil still slowly leaking until this spring. It is a slight outward crack. I assume it is from having water in the unit and letting it sit through a Michigan winter."
