I have one of these mounted on a 1960 Glassmagic 15ft "Siren" boat.
The lower unit got water intrusion (assuming since the oil is milky) and i wanna tear it apart and fix what needs fixed. Since the boat is nice, and that ol evinrude is a runnin SOB.
Either way, how complicated is the lower unit on these? I watched a youtube video and it seemed pretty simple. I dont wanna repower it due to other 75-80hp USED engines going in the 900-1000dollar range, and no local boat shop will touch it.
Am i opening a can of worms or should it be a pretty straightforward deal?
