I have a 91 70hp force. in taking off the water pump to change the oil seals, i see the the filler plate pn 818226A1 is just held in with silicone glue and has a big gap between it and the water pump bottom plate. also filler with silicone.
what does this filler plate do?
is it necessary?
and is...
I am seeking guidance on changing the lower unit oil seals on my 1991 70hp force.
in particular the shift shaft oil seal.
I have not been able to find anything specific to this motor. I know the various methods of prying or drilling into the seal to remove.
I have also read recommendations...
