[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 5224868, member: 19427"] You need a new zinc. The screw in question is a vent like mentioned above. Here are detailed instructions if you need them: [URL unfurl="true"]https://maintenance.yamahaoutboards.com/lower-unit/[/URL] Click on "Change it Out" link. Edited to add: I forgot to mention that the drain screw is magnetic so it will quickly tell you if you have issues. Inspect it when it's removed to see if metal shavings are stuck to it. Probably too late this time around but very important. Also, when changing your gear lube, remove the prop and look for braid around the seal. It's a lower unit killer. [/QUOTE]
