Installation Guide
Professional installation is recommended. The general steps for replacement are as follows:
-
Drain Oil: Start by completely draining the gearcase oil.
-
Remove Lower Unit: Unbolt and detach the lower unit assembly from the outboard engine leg.
-
Disassemble Gearcase: Carefully disassemble the gearcase to access the water pump, driveshaft, and prop shaft components. This will expose the seals and gaskets.
-
Remove Old Seals: Systematically remove all old gaskets, seals, and O-rings. Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces to ensure they are free of old material and corrosion.
-
Install New Components: Install the new seals and gaskets from the kit in their correct locations. Be sure to orient seals correctly and apply a light coat of marine grease where appropriate.
-
Reassemble & Reinstall: Reassemble the gearcase and reinstall the lower unit onto the outboard.
-
Refill Oil: Refill the gearcase with the manufacturer-specified lower unit oil to the correct level.
-
Check for Leaks: Before operating the outboard on the water, check for any oil or water leaks around the newly sealed areas.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
A: Check the "Compatible Engine Models" and "Part Number Cross-Reference" tables. This kit is for specific Tohatsu, Nissan, and Mercury 4-6 HP models. Verifying your engine's model, year, and original part number is essential.
Q: What are the signs that my lower unit seals need replacing?
A: Common signs include water found in the gearcase oil (milky or cloudy appearance), oil leaking from the lower unit (especially around the propeller assembly), or visible damage and cracking on the old seals during an inspection.
Q: How often should I replace the lower unit seals?
A: It is good practice to inspect your lower unit seals annually and replace them whenever you service the water pump or notice any signs of leakage or wear. As a preventative measure, replacing them every few seasons can help avoid catastrophic gear failure.

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.
