Thread: 1987 Mariner 115hp leak?

No green paint, red paint.
I did not remove the lower unit . It stayed intact, during the painting process.
The only time this engine has seen water in the past 15+ years, was I ran it (on muffs) last year, and when I washed it the other day. And rain, during those 15+ years.
That's why this struck me as odd.

Pull lower unit ,and attach pressure pump at 8 psi and see.
