BassNut33 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I have a 2002 50 horse Merc, it is leaking a little bit of lube out of the screws on the lower unit. I bought two new O rings do you guys think this will do the trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Het Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hae you been re-using the original o rings when you change the lower unit oil? The manual says to use a new ring each time. I usually re use them for one change, and have never had a problem. If you use them a couple times, they get crushed, and can allow a small bit of oil to leak out.
