if fluid can get out, water can get in. I would not put it back in the water until you get it fixed.
I let a little gear oil out,no water yet.What tools are needed to r&r the shifter seals,it is a 2005 sporty.I opened the vent screw also and a little lube came out but no water.
When did you last service the lower unit?
I don't think it is over full.It's do for a service.
If you run them hard, they will weep oil out of the shift shaft seal and into an area in the front of the case that gets drained by that little hole. Kinda normal if you ran it hard. Do the service and check for water ASAP.
Isn't the drain plug in the bearing carrier? Getting no water at the vent means nothing. Oil will float on water.:idea:
If it was over filled, when it gets warm it will have to expand and go somewhere.
OK, It's lake time.I'm headed to shasta to tune up the sportmaster and fix the seals.Drew/Boatmasters got your package,Wayne/MAD EFI got your package,thank u.Hopefully I won't need any special tools.thank u everyone.
