Default EvinRudely exHausted, HELP


My mechanic sez:
"The only place oil can come from is the lube in the lower unit."

Check to make sure you have the waterpump inpeller and shaft seals
installed correctly.

The other option is pretty grim. You have a hole in the "pee tube" and
need to replace the lower unit housing. You can check this by looking at the
oil in the foot. If there is water present, you have a real problem.

Ok, I'll take a shot at this...

I can only base this on my absolutely minimal experience with an old
Johnson '55. I would pull it apart again and re-check what you did.
Water should be flowing well out of the pee hole. Water coming out
between the motor and the foot should be no big deal, as long as you're
getting good flow at the pee hole. Probably you didn't get a good seal
when you reattached the lower end and water is escaping through that
seal. However, you NEED to find out why oil is mixing with the water
and coming out the pee hole. Did you re-grease the shifter shaft going
to the foot? Also, open the bottom screw in the foot. Oil will flow
slowly out of it if you only take out the bottom screw. Oil coming out
should NOT be milky white but oil colored. i.e. the same color as when
you put it in. If you're seeing steam, I'm guessing that the motor is
heating up to much and there's not enough water flow to cool it down.
This is a problem and leads back to the first step I mentioned...pull
it back apart and re-check what you did.

Hope this helps,
Jim
