Installation Guide

Follow these general steps to replace the lower gear case seals:

  1. Begin by draining all the gear lube from the sterndrive's lower unit.
  2. Remove the propeller assembly, followed by the entire lower unit from the sterndrive.
  3. Carefully disassemble the lower gear case to access the old seals. Pay close attention to the order and orientation of all components.
  4. Remove the old seals, O-rings, and any gaskets. Take care not to scratch or damage the metal housing surfaces.
  5. Thoroughly clean all sealing surfaces to remove old sealant, corrosion, or debris.
  6. Lightly lubricate the new seals and O-rings with marine grease before installation.
  7. Using a correctly sized seal driver tool, press the new seals into place until they are properly seated. Ensure they are not installed at an angle.
  8. Reassemble the gear case components in the reverse order of disassembly.
  9. Reinstall the lower unit onto the sterndrive, followed by the propeller.
  10. Refill the lower unit with the manufacturer-specified fresh gear lube to the correct level.
  11. After refilling, check carefully for any signs of leaks around the seals before operating the boat in the water.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I know if this seal kit will fit my sterndrive?
A: This kit is specifically designed for Volvo Penta SX series (1994–2006) and OMC Cobra SX series (1994–1998) sterndrives equipped with single propellers. To ensure a perfect match, please cross-reference your engine model and year with the detailed compatibility tables on this page.

Q: What are the common signs that my gear case seals are failing?
A: The most common indicators of a failing seal are milky, water-contaminated gear lube (which looks like a coffee milkshake), visible oil leaking from the lower unit (especially around the prop shaft), or a recurring need to add more gear lube. Any of these signs suggest it's time for an inspection and seal replacement.

Q: How often should I replace my lower unit seals?
A: It is best practice to inspect your gear lube at least once a year for any signs of water intrusion. We recommend replacing the seals as a preventative measure whenever the lower unit is being serviced or immediately if you detect a leak or fluid contamination.

Q: OEM vs. Aftermarket?
A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.

Q: How fast do you ship and how much does it cost?
A: We offer fast global shipping—typically 5–15 days worldwide—and standard shipping is free. Expedited options are available at checkout depending on your location.

Q: What is your warranty and return policy?
A: This product includes a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If something goes wrong, contact our support team with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard return window (unused & in original condition); please see our policy page or reach out for instructions.
