I got the gearcase back together and pressure checked it. At ~8psi it showed zero leakage after 40 minutes and actually came up a bit to around 9psi with the temp in the shop and my handling it while reinstalling the shift rod connector and water pump… twice… but we won’t go into that right now. 😳
And I got the lower unit reattached along with the shift rod. It’s ready to be reassembled once I make a new gasket for the lower section of the exhaust housing.
It’s almost back together. Hopefully tonight I’ll finish it and it will be another one ready for a boat test when the water softens up again.
