    Lower unit oil leak through weep hole after impeller replacement

    I went ahead and coated the outside surface of the seal with sealer. Seems to be working well, as i didn't get any oil pouring out the weep hole! Funny enough when I pulled the drive, I found two plates at the bottom of the exhaust hole of the bell housing. I believe they're remnants of the...

    Lower unit oil leak through weep hole after impeller replacement

    Do you think I should put the oil seal in place with gasket sealer or oiled sides? The manual states to lightly oil the bore.

    Lower unit oil leak through weep hole after impeller replacement

    I bought kit 26-88397A1. It comes with one double lip seal. Is that all I need? I saw there’s also a larger diameter seal, but I don’t see one in my gear case. This kit comes with a large one, but I don’t know where it goes?

    Lower unit oil leak through weep hole after impeller replacement

    Well, I was in denial, but turned out it was the upper drive seal and it looks like there was a seal out of place. Looks chewed up.

    Lower unit oil leak through weep hole after impeller replacement

    Well I think I discovered my issue. I found an additional seal on the drive shaft below the carrier seal. I’m assuming that’s not correct? This would have prevented the carrier seal from going all the way down?

    Lower unit oil leak through weep hole after impeller replacement

    Splines are dry, but shaft was wet to about right at base of splines and on top of pump housing all wet with oil. Also from what I can tell, it was dry around the quad ring, so I think that seal was working correctly.

    Lower unit oil leak through weep hole after impeller replacement

    tried it again, this time with aviation gasket sealer on the quad ring. Happened again. One thing to note, I still had the reservoir cap on, but vent hole plug was out to vent. Does it matter if that cap was on though it was venting? I noticed after dropping again the shift seal was dry but the...

    Lower unit oil leak through weep hole after impeller replacement

    Hi All, I recently replaced the water pump on my Alpha one, Gen 2 drive (2002 year). I also replaced the quad ring seal. After I got the lower unit back together, I went to refill the lower unit and it started puking out of the weep hole. After I dropped the lower unit again, I noticed the quad...

    Troubles with Contact Cement on Spar Varnish

    Hi All, I’m redoing a floor using contact cement on BCX coated with Spar Varnish on Nautolex Interwoven Cool. I’ve done this many times with Shark Gray nautolex. This time around I’m having issues. The main issue is with the contact cement dissolving the spar. I usually try to do a light coat...

    1991 Nissan 90 HP No Power

    Which red and red/white wire? It looks like I'm just missing wires to the tachometer/gauges? I'll take a couple pics of my connections when I get home later.

    1991 Nissan 90 HP No Power

    Hi All, I recently picked up a 1991 Nissan 90 HP. Great condition, but control box needed new ignition switch. I replaced that, got everything connected, but I'm getting no juice to the motor. No trim, starter wont crank, and no startup audible sound. Seems like I'm missing a cable connection...

    Help with Johnson 150 Pinion Bearing Removal

    I checked both carriers and they look identical. I went ahead and put new o-ring on and slathered it with gasket maker. Put it back on and still leaking. I can see where it’s weeping and it almost looks elliptical. Does this mean the case is indeed warped or am I not pressing it in correctly...

    Help with Johnson 150 Pinion Bearing Removal

    I think I've figure out my issues, so the motor itself is a 1992, but somehwere down the line someone put a 1995 lower unit on it. After looking at both diagrams, the bearing carrier looks slightly different between years. One looks slighlty longer. I know I installed OMC #434400 (1992) and it...

    Mystery recirc line on 1992 Evinrude intruder 150

    Anyone know where this recirc line at the top of crankcase connects to? It goes to a tee. I can’t remember where it went when I rebuilt carbs. Oddly I have another 150 HP Evinrude that doesn’t have it.
