Re: Gear Case Sealant

+1 to all comments. Cutting the seal is easy. Hold with 1 hand on a flat surface, then use a box cutter and draw the blade back toward you making sure it’s square. Even if your cut is somewhat diagonal, leaving a little extra at each end will just get waffled in once you tighten down the gearcase screws.

If you can’t figure out where the water is getting in through pressurize the gearcase and submerge in water. Wherever the bubbles are coming out of, that’s your leak. Vacuum testing may be in order too. Repeat the process until no bubbles/drop in pressure/vacuum.
