    Lower Unit Thoughts: Set ME Straight

    I have a 1992 85 HP V4 Rude in a tiller model. I bought it used and the first thing that I did was had the impeller, seals and gaskets replaced. This seems to be a annual thing now since I find water in the oil all the time. I have had the seals around the prop shaft changed, the seals around...

    What About This Line of Thinking??

    I Don't Think it is water

    :confused: I thought I had water in my gas, well I thought that was my only problem. I jacked the boat up the bow, like I was told and let it sit. This was supposed to get the water to settle towards the back of the tank. Then I started to pump out gas into a clear container until it looked like...

    Is This Possible To Do??

    I have identified that I have water in the tank. How much I'm not sure, enough to make the motor run poorly. I was told to let the boat sit on the trailer for a few days and the water will settle to the bottom and towards the back (the bow tilted up). Then I should stick a hose down the tank...
