Might ask around rec.boats or search for the owners groups on google and
yahoo.

It was four or five years ago that I did an overhaul on a 120HP
evinrude outdrive.

I referred to stripping notes which weren't hard to come by, and found a
generic parts outfit for the concertina and various seals via google.
I took off the lower drive with the shift in the correct position,
then removed the upper unit - which was a struggle - easy to mar a
mating surface if the unit has not been pulled regularly.
The spline drive has two shaft seals. If you get this far, you will see
what other seals keep the water out.

First buy a manual here at Ken Cook.

I know it says outboard books but they have manuals for every marine
engine you can think of.

Yeah, I knew that comming, but I figured he never heard of any of
them.
I should have just said, read the book!
