So we have been under a heavy freeze the past few days and this evening I noticed all this water under the motor. It appears to be coming from the front bolt where the lower unit attaches to the gear case. All I did to "winterize" it was lower the motor all the way down for a couple of days after the last time I ran it. Do I have an issue?
I am not sure if there is damage. If it was outside and temperature went below 32 degrees you might have issues. Worst case if it did freeze the water pump house expanded and cracked, easier to fix than a cracked lower unit.
It was in the garage but temps even in there were below 32.
Ran it this weekend with no issues, taking it in this week to get the impeller changed and everything checked out just to be safe.
