Need some help from my NCAngler brothers. I have to replace the drive shaft seal and the shift rod seals. I have looked and reseached all day about this and found a few different sites where they explain it. But the question I have is with the (2) shift rod 0-ring seals. Do they go inside the housing cover hole or just on the shift rod under the cover? Both look to be straight forward easy repairs. Just don't want to dive into this and not be able to do it and have to take the LU to a boat place and it set for 2-3 weeks before getting it back. I pick up all the parts today and want to be back on the water this Sat hopefully. The reason I am replacing them is because I went out yesterday to start getting the boat ready for a trip this weekend and low and behold there is white goo streaming from the weep hole and the water intake fins. Online said that these leaking are the cause by letting water into the prop shaft housing.
