Lower Unit
I drained my lower unit today on my 1997 johnson 200, and when I puled
the bottom drain screw there was a small amount of water in it, how would it get there and is it a something that needs to be fixed before I use my boat this season?

Is a problem. Get new seals put in.

It gets in via a leaky seal -- usually the prop shaft seal, although the shift shaft seal is another common culprit on some motors. If you live in a sub-freezing winter climate, it will crack the lower unit housing when it freezes over the winter. Other than that, it foams the oil and causes it to become a much less effective lubricant. So, yes, you need to get it fixed.
