If you want a good site to help sort engines out try Iboats.com-link direct to their forum here. http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

There's marine engineers on there that rebuild anything and everything and they are extremely helpful.

Re-filling the gearbox-do it from the bottom and when it overflows put the top screw in. Gear lube is thick enough you lose very little while you put the bottom screw in.

Maybe so but water/moisture just dilutes it...........if it doesn't keep water at bay. What's the point?

I wonder if it doesn't stop the water it's diluted with absorbing oxygen. That'd stop corrosion for a while.

by the way does anyone know if the stuff called SEA CREEP/SEA FOAM is available in the uk. the yanks seem to swear by it

It's the same as Redex but with added yankee bull*hit.
