2005 150 HP XR6 SN 1B070546. Has shaved heads, Carson reeds and bobs tuner. Running a 2004 Tracker Avalanche bass boat. My lower is pretty. beat. Skegs broken, I’m pretty certain the prop shaft is bent and the seals are shot. It seems out of balance when underway. Prop, while not perfect, is in much better condition than the lower. Will send the prop to get worked when I replace the lower.
My last lower oil change produced milky oil. Last changed about a month ago. I’m going to change the oil again and see how it looks.
thinking of just replacing vs rebuilding. Are there “performance” lowers that will help maintain water pressure if I raise the hydraulic jackplate to try to maximize RPMs or that have lower drag designs? Figured if I’m going to replace it I should consider all the possibilities. Also, any recommendations on where to buy?
thx for your thoughts.
