I've got a Merc110 9.8 horse motor that I got for free and the prop seal leaks gear oil. It's milky in color as is the grease in the lower unit so I know that it's gear oil and not exhaust residue. I can't find a data plate to get the serial number and year, but my question is if that seal(s) is something that a mechanically inclined backyard tinkerer can replace without too much trouble. I'm unfamiliar with outbord motors but can fix most things so I'm not afraid to do it, just afraid to start and find out that it's a bigger job than I thought.<br /><br />Thanks in advance!!

If you have a spsnner to get the carrier nut out, all you need to do it use the shaft to pull the carrier out to change the seal
