    Burr on a prop shaft

    I have a 1999 Evinrude ficht. I took the lower unit in for service. They reported back that the prop shaft has burrs , that's the cause of the seal failure. They recommend new prop shaft. My question is will a sleeve work.

    No need, just get a nice used shaft, or see if your shaft can have the burrs polished out. And while you're at it, make sure it's not bent. Had water gotten in the unit ?
