Re: 3012 Evinrude Lightwin

quote Buccaneer:

I’ve never had one of these “weedless” lower units apart.
Anything to watch out for, or pay particular attention
to on these Lightwins?
Thanks.

Nope, they are pretty simple. Don’t believe that old story that says you can’t get the drive shaft back in if you pull it out. Hold it hoizontal and it will slide in.
Make sure you lube the water tube grommet. If you put too much push on the tube, it may bend in the middle and rub through against the drive shaft.
