    Grease spot under lower unit?

    I lowered my moter for storage about 10 days ago and now have a small wet spot under it. It appears to be grease. Is this normal?

    No, this is not normal. Might have some seals seeping in the lower unit. Take it to a technician you trust and get it looked at.

    More then likely bad seals... it's time to replace.

    probably prop shaft seals, check your lower unit grease and make sure water has'nt gotten in to the lower unit. there are two seals ,one holds l/u grease in and one holds water out.
