Finally got my 1/2 sheared pin outta my driveline collar and V-drive assembly out of the hull. Pulled an inspection cover and lots of water flowed out. Since it's an "Old Style" toploader Casale, I'm thinking the head has a crack in the cooling passage. Here in the MI area people aren't too good about winterizing. When I bought the boat the guy warned me too "change the lower seal (output shaft) of the v-drive". I'm thinking the water pressure was pushing gear oil out. Sound right to you guys?
Anyone have a spare topcover?
