Hi Guys !

Last week I tried for the 1st time in 3 Years , my restore Hydrostream Vision... Good reward for all this work..
Now comes new problems !! My engine is a Mariner 2.0L totally Modified .. It develop +-200Hp at the flywheel ; it comes with a CLE type Lower with a NoseCone(Don't know that) .. For now, I'm telling you what I've been told... I don't know too much about this kind of stuff...

1st thing happen this weekEnd .. BANG .. My trim motor is dead .. **** !
2nd thing ... when I put my 26' Chopper I've noticed that my Prop shaft is a bit bent .. but just a bit ... The question is .. Could I keep it like that for a couple of time .. or it could be very dangerous to ride with it ?!

3rd thing.. Oil is coming out of my lower unit .. Seals must be broken... Where can I find Seals for my lower unit ??

Thanks

Charles, the guy who probably have to wait one more year before Hydrostreaming !

Thing 2&3 are related,bent shaft will take out seals,so replace both.

you can either look on here in the used parts section or ebay for a trim motor. the lower should be totally taken apart and serviced by someone who has the tools and knows what to do. It will last a long time for you then.not what you want to hear right now but its cheaper in the long run.see if you can get a good used or rebuilt lower on here.
