Questions: I recieved my new lower Unit se 116. upon removal of my old lower unit I found a boot seal cover(not sure of real name of part) which slide over my lower unit shaft (shaft that fits into upper housing) which covers the seal going into the upper lower housing. Do I place this cover over the new shaft? What did this cover do because I don't see it on you installation guides? Boat 1991 4.3l alpha one gen II. If I put in on the new lower unit will it cause my upper unit to leak?
Also I assembled my new lower to my upper and I see water coming out between two bolts on left side of outdrive, Oil coming out the small hole on left side, oil in prop housing and oil leaking from my shift shaft. If oil is leaking from my shift shaft will that oil show up down in the prop housing?
By the way I pressure tested - held 14 psi for 24 hrs and vacuum tested - help 8 inches for several hours before removing.
Is the mercruiser performance gear oil ok to use in this drive?
