 Go devil 16 hp diagnosis
I ran my engine about 8 times year.........I know,,,,,,,, pathetic, but I did alot of other hunt by alternative methods.....
About 4 trips ago i noticed some grease coming out of the overflow......I did not think much of it as it was not much.....when I got home I added more grease, next time out it came out more.
I checked the seals at the bottom and they are dry, no grease there,,,,,but the prop seems to be makin a slight peculiar sound.....Like its minutely wobbling.........I cant tell for sure, I only owned a LT for about 25 hours now.
I ve heard about bent shafts, water in the shaft, seals, etc......There is not sign of grease anywhere else but the overflow.
What should I do?

 Re: Go devil 16 hp diagnosis
if the shaft wobbles at the lower end, you likely have a worn lower bushing. Is the grease coming out of the resovoir milky? Lower seals are easy to replace, cheap, and will lengthen the life of the lower bushing and shaft if routinely changed. Also, stop pumping grease in the shaft when the resovoir is about 3/4 full.
