Hey all.. Last year when we drained the oil from the lower unit of my outboard we noticed that it had gotten some water in it and was discolored. (though it still ran fine) I remebered when I changed the prop last year I had found a buch of fishing line wound around the shaft, and my Grandpa seems to think that is what weakend the seal. But I am a little short on Cash right now.. so I was wondering how big of an issue this is, (as if should be done ASAP, can wait, etc..) and around how much it would cost to get them replaced?
