Lower unit on my dt-140 1998 gear casing is cracking by the prop. is this common
Unfortunately for you, the motor is out of warranty and lower units are not supposed to be cracked under any circumstances other than striking very hard some underwater obstruction. IF water was present when the motor was put away last winter, it would have frozen, expanding in the confinement of the gear housing and causing the metal casing to CRACK. Water WILL then be able to intrude the gear casing and mix with the lube oil in the lower unit leading to a breakdown if you run it without having it replaced. Get it serviced as soon as possible or, at least, get a service estimate without using it further or you'll experience a catastrophic gear failure in the lower unit and find yourself defintely looking for a new motor.

assuming you are not out of oil in your oil reservoir you probably have a bad sending unit in the reservoir. never bypass it or eliminate it as you could permanently damage your motor or ruin it if you ran it out of oil.

we had replaced the engine in our 87 4.3 star craft and when we put the omc cobra stern drive back in we now dont have foward gear, we have nuetral and reverse. could it be the linkage or could it be the shifter cable or any other idea's that could be the problem.
