What is in the lower unit of a 140 hp evinrude outboard?
Hey, i just got a used lower unit of another evinrude 140hp outboard. i was wondering if the prop shaft was located in it. is there only one propshaft? or is there 2 parts to it? do i need to get a new seal to mount the new(used) one i just got to the rest of the engine? can i buy some kind of sealant to seal it or do i need a gasket? thanks
You should have gotten a new one .. would probably last longer and less headache, but since you want to fix it, Try this link … it will show you exactly what is inside the lower unit.

Its real obvious that you don't have a lot of experience with outboard motors….. My suggestion would be to have a qualified outboard mechanic assemble the lower unit, or you can plan on much more expensive repairs later on.

me and my dad rebuilt the lower unit in a 50hp johnson go to your local libuary and check out a chilton mechanic book for your motor and it will tell you everything you need to know

use a gasket, after working at a boat yard for 4 years and having to deal with the headsches of people trying to use glue. You won't be on their good side.
