Water intrusion around the cap? Salt water maintenance schedule for greasing

[H2OPERF]

I have been trying to buy all my used parts from up north for that reason, the 1981 50hp gearcase housing i got from MN was like working with a new part... I ordered the 2.7L G2 tiller and lower mount shoe yesterday see if it fits.. That g2 swivel must cost a fortune to mfg compared to the std trim unit..

Geez, how many hours rough were on that?

It’s got a 10 year warranty... Who cares?

[FMP]

No questions? Lack of maintenance etc

[baja200merk]

It was 100% covered new clamp and swivel was installed.

Solid

No grease goes there and the cap/ screws have o rings, but a shot of lps 3/grease or something like that would have helped prevent that for the most part, but that would cost 2cents more.. and now they pay 10000 times more on warranty , bean counters..

[FMP]

So that nipple doesn't feed the whole assembly and spill to the inner cap when full?

[H2OPERF]

no it greases the wear plate between the mount and swivel bracket,

[Baja16]

I believe theirs a service bulletin pertaining to those caps. They had a production issue where the o-rings were getting pinched and weren't sealing properly. But like Kevin said, 10 year warranty, who cares!
