I have a little bit of what looks/feels like greese coming out from the drive shaft in the pictures below and was wondering if this is normal or a problem ?? it is from the join farthest from the prop or closeest to the belt drive. Thanks, |

Neff, yours is normal, it's just the thinner grease oozing from the heat. ODG, your housing is cracked. |

Can that be welded or does the whole thing need to be replaced? |

He also posted it on MB, & got more detailed answers. According to Andy (BoatDr) it has to be replaced. I initially thought the same about having it welded, until he said the only 2 options both included replacing it. It's actually 2 pieces pressed together & apparently he must've tried to repair one before, rather than replace it & it was a no-go. |

Where are you located and what do you have? Im trying to decide on getting a longer shaft for my 35, if i do I will be looking to get rid of my current one if you are interested and looking. |

I pulled the drain plug on the shaft and released the excess grease which helped allot. I'm going to run it for a while and see if it keeps up. Team Camo was right and the thread on the MB forum is much more detailed. I hope this all works out without any substantial change required. I use JB Weld on everything !! C-u on the water !! |
