    I have a 13m steel fishing boat, I got the bottom water blasted and at the very end of the stearn tube a 10mm hole opened and 2 gal of reddish oil came out, it's variable pitch and the only lube is a grease gun inside the boat about 2ft down the tube, I need help I've no idea what the oil is help
