is in dry dock with a noise in the lower unit.
Went down to the river this am for some fish catching. My Yamaha has a tapping noise in forward, under load. Drained the lower unit oil and I've got the dreaded sparkles in the oil. :(
Good news is I've got a back up ( my old johnsonrude) for tomorrow morning. If Mamma gives me yard leave. :)
sorry bout that JR.....hope it's not 2 bad.....I would have figured your ice chest would have wore out first.....
a look at the damage:bash
What caused that JR? Low on oil? Looks like it was running hot.
I think he hit something with the prop

The cost of Parts,new gears, seals, bearings, water pump, etc is almost half what a new unit cost.

It was sabotage by a group of militant crappie who pushed a log in his way to protect their species from being harassed. In truth, little did those crappie know that all JR was doing was inviting them to lunch. :biggrin
