most common leak point is the driveshaft seals under the water pump. Your Evinrude dealer has a complete seal kit that gives you everything needed with extra stuff left over that is used on other model gearcases.

Ge the complete factory water pump kit, too

I'd take a day and drive over to Eddie Pope's place in Charleston, TN, and let him work his magic. It wouldn't be that far of a drive, and Eddie is the man with J/E cases.

You can do it, but in my situation, 1) I didn't have the proper tools necessary to do the job, and 2) Eddie pressure checked the l/u first, along with checking and straightening the prop shaft.

For the money, it was much easier to have him do it right. You might be surprised at how affordable it is to have him do it.

If you plan on doing it, get a J/E shop manual and tear it down according to the book. Not an aftermarket book, but the J/E manual for your specific motor.
