I had a problem with my lwr. unit This Spring [ F-90 2005]. It was winterized properly the lwr. unit gear oil was changed [it was OK at the time] and the motor was stored outside [In Canada]in an upright position tilted up slightly to allow for boat drainage and clear the ground.
Somehow water got into the lwr. unit because when I launched it-- it was dispersing a film residue from the exhaust. I took it out checked the lwr. unit gear oil & it was milky white.
Since then I had the seals & the gear oil changed . I ran it for 10hrs and then pulled it to check & the Gear oil was milky again.
How could the water have possibly entered the lwr. unit in the 1st place?
What is wrong with the motor?
