Serviced my engine yesterday and changed the oil in the lower unit. Not only did it have some water in it but when I went to grease the lower unit fitting I saw I have no pipe plug. I am suppose to have one right? Is this how the water is getting in and how serious is it? |

Page 15 of owners manual for short shank LU. Really not sure how long I've been running without it. Really hope I haven't screwed something up. |

Do you have the new version L/U? If so,the plug you are talking about doesn't let water in. It only hides the grease zerk fitting. |

If its a 2010 and you have water in the LU, take it in and have the seals replaced under warrantee. |

Water in the gear box is not OK by any means. Water has to travel a long way up the grease sealed prop shaft and then break through another set of seals to get in the gear box. U can tell when the lower prop shaft seals start to go out when u pump grease into the housing and u see water squeeze out before the grease. |
