Sorry Jeff, I don't have a link to send you.
But maybe a mercruiser dealer might be able to print you a copy of the service bulletin, That is if you can get a chance to ask them for one.
Good luck.

Recently had the impeller changed. Since the change there is a slight leak in drive oil. No leaking seals, oil res. in engine bay shows leaking of an ounce or 2 per hour of running. Repair guy feels that is being sucked thru the exhaust, but leak not stopped yet. Anyone ever have this issue? 2007 260H, 496 B3. |

It would appear to me that this is a fairly serious problem. If the oil is going out there'a good chance that water is getting in. I would have the drive serviced and pressure tested. I think you'll find a seal is leaking by. |

I thought the B3 drive had the impeller on the engine, not in the outdrive ? If so, then the impeller change had nothing to do with the outdrive oil leak/ consumption. I vaguely remember oil leaks being mentioned before for the B1 and B3, I can't understand how the drive oil could possibly end up being sucked up by the exhaust. The pressure test mentioned by MNG would seem a sensible next step. Graham |

Yes, There is a merc service bulletin out (10-64) Letting us know they now have a new inner prop shaft seal to help with this case by case problem. While pressure testing don't forget to turn the prop shafts. |

Agreed that a B3 impeller change has nothing to do with a gear lube leak. This seems like a coincidence to me. |
