Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I have tried a drift on the shoulder of both the bushing under the water pump and the pinion gear/bearing without movement. Banging on them pretty hard too. Used ‘spot check’ dye on skeg and see no sign of any crack. I have looked the fwd., rev. Gear and dog over and they look pretty good. I am hoping I can find a place to get replacement parts as I don’t have a good feeling about getting the remaining bits and pieces out without terminal damage. I hopefully got some pics attached to this reply to show what’s happening. Thanks again. Tom
