Be sure to check my channel on how to pressure and vacuum test your Outdrive as well as changing the prop shaft seal. Also, a bit about the raw water pump. Share your experiences below. Thanks for watching.

Hi! Is this the method I would use to flush out the gear case for metal particles? My lower end I believe has a broke Gear so I will be swapping it out with a new lower unit. Although when I check the inspection port for the top portion it still has metal flakes on the gears but the gears themselves look good! I just don’t want to put a new lower unit on and then Run into a new issue because of the metal in the gear case.

THAT is a good question. I don't believe flushing like I did for contamination would be adequate. I suspect there are metal particles in the bearings, etc. I'd consult with an expert on that one. And research yourself. Installing a new lower unit ($$$$) I'd want to be sure the top end was good to go. Regardless, good luck. Thanks!
