| Post subject: | outdrive oil |
started getting the boat ready for this season today, while draining the outdrive a small amount of water trickled out first b4 the oil.could it have been condensation from the winter ? second question would be,I want to check the seals while there is no oil in it so how much pressure should i test the drive at. and how long should it hold. |

You don't say what drive you have. This is for the SX Attach a vacuum tester to oil level hole,and pull vacuum to 3-5 inches of mercury (10-16,8 kPa). Rotate propeller and universal joint shaft to check sealing. If drive does not hold vacuum, apply a heavy oil to seal and gasket surfaces to find source. Make necessary repairs then repeat test. No loss of vacuum should occur on low test. If vacuum loss is not indicated, increase vacuum to 14-16 inches of mercury (47-54 kPa). Again, apply heavy oil to find source if drive will not hold vacuum. Make repairs as necessary and repeat test. Drive must not loose more than 1 inch of mercury (3,4 kPa) in 3 minutes. Pressure test Attach a pressure tester (such as a Stevens S-34) to the oil level hole, and pressurize drive to 3-5 PSI (20,7-34,5 kPa). Rotate propeller shaft and Universal Joint shaft to check sealing. If pressure loss is indicated, use a soapy water solution or submerge drive in water to find source. Make necessary repairs then repeat test. If pressure loss is not indicated, increase pressure to 16-18 PSI (110-124 kPa). Again, use a soapy water solution or submerge in water to find source if drive looses pressure. Make repairs as necessary and repeat test. Drive must hold pressure before making vacuum test, and must not loose more than 1 PSI (6,9 kPa) in 3 minutes. Do not fill sterndrive with oil until it passes both pressure and vacuum tests. |
