I agree. Had the unit pressure tested last year and they changed the prop shaft seals. It didn’t leak a drop this whole summer and then all of the sudden started losing a bit of fluid (1-2oz) again, no signs in the bilge, around prop, or sheen on water. Everything I read says that unit gets so...
What’s the best way to remove the white scum/build-up from the top of the Bravo 3 gear casing without damaging the surface? I’m aware of what causes it and planning to install a drive shower in the Spring, hoping I can finally get rid of the mysterious oil disappearance as well!!
I’m following you on the pink fluid vs automobile, thanks.

Appreciate your response, I honestly had no idea what the water collector on the front lower side of the engine was. I have a few questions. Last year I paid attention when my mechanic (20 year merc certified) did the winterization, here are the steps he followed:
