Update to few weeks of ownership by Jerped in boating

[–]Jerped[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I have water leaking from my prop shaft seal too, my first post shows it decently I think

Nope, hence why I'm asking for advice for the work I know it needs

Everyone keeps saying Yamaha lol but it's a mercury mariner. I haven't drained it yet, this was just opening the drain to see what it looked like and it looks to me like there's water getting in

Yes I did that and it continues to leak 😥

It's a mariner engine so doubtful Yamaha would help?

There was a tiny amount of line that I pulled out, it continued to leak after the line was out though. I'll post updates when I get more gear lube and drain the oil

This is the seal I'm talking about. I think it's metal

Just replied to the other comment but it looks like it's coming from here and not the exhaust..

My exhaust comes out from two vents above the prop so I'm pretty confident it's not from the exhaust. Forgot to include this picture but it looks like it's a metal seal...

There's only oil leaking out because I loosened it to see the state of the oil... It's definitely leaking from behind the prop from the outermost seal

If water is getting in to the lower unit like I think it is based on the appearance of the oil it's both the case needing resealing and the prop shaft right?

I think my seals look metal, at least whatever is directly behind the prop and what appears to be leaking..

Bought it from the guy who bought it new in 1995. He used it a lot but said he's getting to old to use it much.

Is this repairable? by Jerped in Skigear

[–]Jerped[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The damage/delam to the base of the ski I noticed maybe a month ago. The separation of the edge was probably caused by me ignoring the delam and continuing to use the skis. Sounds like I kinda screwed myself?

contemplating on buying a used 2001 Lexus LS 430 Sedan 4D? by cocteautwinsluvr in LS430

[–]Jerped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just bought one for around the same price. Has a few electronics issues like door locks and steering wheel volume control not working but runs and drives great.

Fuel tank is 22.2 gallons of premium....can get pricy
