[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 152026, member: 3278"] What you are seeing is more than likely unburned fuel/oil. When you removed the propeller was there any seal damage from fish line, etc.? By now you have had time to check the oil in the lower unit. Was there water in it? If not then you are pretty much good to go. The sand and junk in the cavity forward of the pump is pretty normal for an engine that has been run and beached or run in shallow water from time to time. If still in doubt....before re-sealing the gearcase you may try simply going into a dealership and have them pressure and vacuum check your lower unit. Lots cheaper than resealing for the heck of it.
