Re: Gamefisher 5HP 217 Model Lower unit drain/fill rubber washers
Damian there should be no rubber orings used for the drain and vent screws, thats a sure way to fill the lower with water, I use the flat red fiber washers found in many other marine outboard carb kits if I use anything...I have one Eska that I use no washers on it at all because they cause it to leak water in at the fill screw....I find that the finer the thread the less the need for a washer anyway. I also change my gear oil alot which is what I suggest since they hold so very little. Just tighten the screws down as snug as you can and change the fluid often and if anything use a little of the blue hylomar sealant.
