So have a 2006 B3. Brought the boat home the other day and last night noticed some 'seepage' around the one piece. Not sure what this entails or how hard it is to replace. Pretty sure the one leak on the starboard side is from around the vent plug but you can still see some seepage on that side too. I didn't have a chance to clean the outdrive last year so this seepage stands out now.
Had new bellows installed at the end of 2018.
I changed the O/D oil last fall but didn't have new gaskets. Plan to replace those this spring before launch so not surprised it's leaking.
Looks like maybe 3 bolts hold that piece on. What is it, what does it do? What do I need to do to fix it? Is it as simple as pulling those 3 bolts and replacing the gasket then topping off oil?
