1973 Mercury 850 Thunderbolt Lower end Concerns
Posted: Tue Nov 21, 2006 2:35 pm
Hi Folks,
While winterizing my new (used) motor, I noticed a fair bit of water in the lower unit. Infact, mostly water very little oil. The lower plug didn't have a gasket on it. Could this be the problem? Would there be any damage to the lower leg? I probably put 50 liters of gas through the engine before noticing the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mike.
