you might try refilling with properoil and adding new seals on vent and fill screws. check for metal when you pull bottom one
then you can run unit and see if it still gets water
resealing one can be done but ihave found that its best to have a shop
reseal and pressure test
around here the price is one HOUR LABOR 2 75$ and the seal kit
good luck benny 1963

Takes alot longer than an hour or 2 to do a complete re-seal. Drop the lower unit, Prop shaft seals, bearing carrier O-ring, drive shaft seal, and shift rod O-rings. Might as well do a water pump while you've got it off.
