So, I ran my boat ('22 Mako) today and still taking 'maiden voyages' & dialing it in till I feel it's 'reliable'. I trolled for quite a while then took some wide open runs (45sec.) and then cruised around a little.
I discovered that oil, a pretty good amount, is coated all over my motor and dripping from all over. The oil is central right around my driveshaft so, pretty sure it is a main seal. Is it possible to pull the seal without splitting the case? I'd appreciate any incite on this and tips/tricks if I can.. Thanks

Correction: "I discovered that oil, a pretty good amount, is coated all over my motor and dripping from all over. The oil is central right around my CRANKshaft., just under the flywheel.

your service manual should give you what needs to happen to pull that seal/
I do not have that motor, so I do not have the manual for that motor
