Does a milky color to the old lube mean that I have water in it? Wouldn't the water separate from the lube?
I replaced it with Sierra Premium Gear Lubricant. Is that o.k.?
Please email me if you can help me.

Yes it would mean you had water in the lube. It really does not matter
what lube you use, until you replace the seals, you will continue to
leak water and water and oil are not a good lubricant for your lower
outboard lower unit.

It does. Remove the prop and check for fishing line on the shaft. That's a
common problem. Change the lube and check it frequently by opening the
bottom plug and letting a few drops out. How long has it been since it was
last changed? If it was changed 1 or 2 years ago then you probably need new
seals. If you don't know when it was last changed then I'd watch it for a
while.

If I try to run my Bayliner to the nearest marina (approx 1/2 hr), and I do have a problem with the lower unit, what can I expect to happen?
