I did notice that I though it was just crappy weld

One more thing and this may not be kosher for everyone and may not even be necessary when I put it all back together again I usually sneer a thin layer of gasket maker on the flat matting surfaces peace out peter

The video method is good I have taken seals out like that not going to lie taking it off is my preferred method I would suggest you go one set of screws higher and get access to the water pump and change that rubber impeller worse thing is to be out in the middle of your favourite lake and not pumping cooling water once you undo it it will drop a bit and hang on the shift linkage usually a coupler with 2 set screws loosen the lower and the lower unit will come away put it up on a bench and go to town you will see the housing for the impeller you can’t miss it troll some forums specific to your mortor first time is always painful and bloody take your time be patient use your cell for disassembly and reassembly the money you save buy a new toy for the boat and take pride in your new skill YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! cheers peter

Video looks good just take time you can do it!!! cheers Peter

Yes we are talking about the seal at the prop and both fill screws upper and lower should have either o rings or crush washers

If you want to pay me to fly out from Nova Scotia I’ll come do it but in reality I will say again it’s easy to do and doesn’t take long I only did pressure tests on the rescue boat drives as of roof of repair( needs to be reliable)

Here is my take on this I have had lots of experience in this you had water during the boating season for sure it didn’t happen over the winter if it did stay emulsified over the winter you should be okay you said used it’s likely time I try to do the seal every two years religiously unless I see what your seeing going forward if you want to drain in the fall fine but replace the oil you drain don’t let them sit dry this is a quick fix without getting soaked by a dealer the prop seal is very easy to do in your driveway do this first and run the motor on the water for a week if it’s milky again you could have other issues and it could be higher up the drive if not your a champ you didn’t say how big your motor was not that it matters pretty much all the same on the drive end its easy you can do it cheers peter

That is very slick Chris truly cool!!!!

You don’t need to go deep the shorelines are a treasure trove forgot to mention🤘

Pick your days and what you are comfortable with never had issues with lake o SMART BOATING HUGE PAY OFFS you would be shocked to know what is within your grasp in and around the Gta on lake o lots of trophy class fish #1. pay attention to the weather although beautiful and bountiful lake o can be very cruel very fast can’t be anymore clear on this point! but you have to be comfortable …as for the tiller what’s your point get out there and see for yourself hit the harbours and shore lines I promise you won’t be disappointed not sure what else to say it’s all there go get ‘em! cheers Peter

Best advice I can give you from what I read you must have a boat put in at fifty point get out about 300 or 400 feet off shore drop your lines and troll towards Niagara Falls stay in 30 or 40 feet of water or go out a little deeper look for hooks on the bottom stop and drop big white rubber jigs on them just saying cheers peter

My buddy has been on this for a while and it’s ready for pavement. In my opinion it’s one of the best builds I have ever seen Simple clean very sexy!!!

I can say it’s official the ring neck pheasant was beaking off this morning ,spring is on the way he is still hiding and staying low when he pops out I will try to get a picture and I did see a half dozen robins at work the other day let the growing season begin!!!!! cheers peter

I’m a big fan of nuclear and also for fusion i think the game changer is in the computing and right now at this point in time we are at the tip of a brave new world in computational power it dramatically increases daily I don’t really believe fusion is that far off and I think nuke for now full size and Smr’s is the way forward and let’s be honest about this while we on our side of the world are tripping over or selfs to be so cute and green the other side is just beginning to see what we have and that they have a shot at something better and want it they will not be taking their foot of the gas peddle anytime soon the world is changing and still very lopsided .as an organism on the planet I try to do my bit as a custodian while I’m alive try to be smart and conscious of what I do and what’s around me and will do so until I expire i don’t give a fig about electric at the moment we are not ready for it yet there is still a lot that needs to go on in the background to make it all work. at the pace they are currently setting in can see issues coming Here’s to a bright future!! sorry had to vent a bit

You smell that boy that’s 2stroke There ain’t nothing like the smell of 2 stroke in the morning son

Ooh, on I burn Fuel is pumping engines Burning hard, loose, and clean And I burn, churning my direction Quench my thirst with gasoline So give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire to hell with the energizer bunny🤘 Biteme
