Metal flakes in lower unit lube.
I found these metal flakes on my drain plug magnet. They look expensive.I think they are the remains of a hardened bearing surface, not the normal gear wear I am used too. What do you think?Time for a teardown, and inspection?

Got to agree, think a tear down is needed.
