Research suggesting shift rod seal. Closer look next week.
Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
You didn't mention whether IO or outboard but sounds like outboard so a couple things come to mind: One is there is usually a small gasket seal around each of the drain screws on the lower unit. If the little gasket is missing, water can get in and fluid can leak out. Two is your lower unit seals may be compromised and water may be getting in and displacing the fluid out the drain screw hole. Unscrew the lower drain screw and see what comes out if water or murky fluid may be bad seal.
Thanks Len, yes outboard. Looks like it is gathering around the mounting bolt between the lower unit and the engine. There are two on either side and the starboard top bolt/nut is we’re the drip is originating ( from first look). Hoping just worked loose from a bottom scrape or 100 hours of trolling. I did not have a wrench to torque it down to test. I will verify the fluid as well , as you suggest.

Good Day,
It appears there is a small amount of oil collecting on and then dripping from one of the lower unit mounting screws. Several drops run off only when the motor is tilted up out of the water. There is no leak when motor position is down, either off or running at idle. I am not sure at this point if it is gear or motor oil. The oil seems to be rather thin as it drips quickly, then stops after a few minutes. I did not have a 15mm wench at the time to try to tighten the lower unit bolts, hoping they just worked themselves loose.
Any ideas on what else I should look for?
Appreciate any feedback. I am away from the boat currently, but will be addressing the issue next week.

OK very good......thanks for the follow up!

Very good thanks! I would be looking to get on Keuka Lake...so either Penn Yan or the State Park. Both web sites do not show open, but probably just behind in their notice.
Thanks, Dave

Good Day,
So I can launch from a marina - private boat, just personal use, but not a public launch? Correct?

I believe the size was to suppose to keep the lakers from eating them. Sounds like maybe that was not the effect. Probably just fed them threw the winter.

You would think after 100,000 of them going in, you would see something.

Anyone see any of the stocked Cisco’s in any trout belly’s yet?

+1 for mr 580.... different lc set ups, 3,5,7,10 color...or any combo, and snap weights have worked well for me with inlines.

Good Day, I sit here with my 200 plus sticks and spoons, organizing repairing and cleaning. I have been using Big Water Bait Box's for years. Clear see through heavy boxes from Duluth. I have three of them. Was hoping to hear back from everyone around the old topic "lure storage". I really am happy with the my Big Water boxes, other then I now have three of them, And there seems to be a more then a few at the bottom of the box due to dropage. My question......Special Mate or is there something newer folks have been using and are happy with?
Thanks, Dave

Not just the new ones! Mine is the same and has been for years, hard to see. Nice product other then that.

That sounds like a good choice. Let us know which one you end up with and how it works once installed.

Might be helpful.....from Humminbird. Just a visual of DI.

Jig, I have only used my Si_Di on two trips now down here trolling in the Fingers. I am coming from a 50/200 Furuno. I am with you on some of your thinking. I may keep both as the transducers are both mounted on the boat currently. Unclear of what is best as of yet, but hear your side.

+1 lower a bit and angle rear down about 5 degrees, (mounted when on trailer) so level when trolling at 2.5mph, is what I have found to work.
