Re: omc lower unit

it sounds like you ran the drive low on oil if you do and OMC search they dont get refilled correctly quite a bit and lock up like yours<br /><br />i would not do anything else with out the correct service manual its not a simple job even for a pro<br /><br /><br />tommays

Get a manuel. It would take all day for someone to explain how to tear apart that drive. It's probably toast anyway. Sorry. Let this be a lesson for newbies out there. Don't take yer toy out unless u check all fluid levels! If u don't you'll get bit hard in the 'ol wallet.
