Installation Guide
-
Drain Gearcase Oil: Position a drain pan under the lower unit and remove the lower and upper drain/vent screws to drain the gear oil completely.
-
Remove Propeller Assembly: Remove the cotter pin, propeller nut, and any washers. Carefully slide the propeller off the shaft.
-
Access Bearing Carrier: Depending on your model, you may need to remove the bearing carrier housing to access the old seals. This often requires a special puller tool.
-
Remove Old Seals: Carefully pry out the old oil seals from the carrier using a seal puller or flat-head screwdriver. Avoid scratching the metal housing.
-
Clean and Inspect: Thoroughly clean the seal housing area and the propeller shaft. Check for any scoring or damage that could compromise the new seals.
-
Install New Seals: Press the new seals into place using a socket or seal driver tool that matches the outer diameter of the seal. Ensure they are seated evenly and at the correct depth.
-
Reassemble: Reinstall the bearing carrier, propeller, and associated hardware. Torque the propeller nut to the manufacturer's specification and install a new cotter pin.
-
Refill Gearcase Oil: Fill the lower unit with the correct type and amount of gearcase oil through the bottom drain hole until it flows from the top vent hole. Reinstall both screws with new gaskets.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this seal fits my engine?
Start by checking the "Compatible Engine Models" table. The most reliable method is to cross-reference your existing part number with those listed in our "Part Number Cross-Reference" table to ensure an exact match.
What are the signs of a failing propeller shaft seal?
The most common sign is a visible gear oil leak around the propeller shaft area. Another indicator is milky or cloudy gear oil when you drain it, which signifies water has mixed with the oil due to a failed seal.
How is this aftermarket seal different from the OEM version?
This seal is manufactured to match OEM specifications for fit and function. It features a double-lip design, which provides an extra barrier against leaks, and is constructed from a durable rubber compound with a metal backing for structural integrity.
