Reply To: South Bend Lower Unit

[T….in Wisconsin]

Hi Tubbs,

Nice picture of the assembly.

It appears it may be difficult getting penetrating oil or lube to the prop shaft in a effort to loosen the prop.

Is it a good idea to disassemble the lower unit to check the internals.

Peering in through the grease filler port I can’t see any evidence of lube.

Might I need to disassemble the lower unit and remove the prop shaft to get the prop off.

Roger that on keeping track of all the nuts, bolts and quite frankly everything.
