Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Lower Unit: Position the outboard securely and place a drain pan under the lower unit. Remove the drain and vent screws to drain the gear lube completely.
2. Remove Lower Unit: Disconnect the shift linkage and remove the mounting bolts securing the gearcase to the engine. Carefully lower the unit.
3. Access the Seal: Depending on your model, the shift shaft seal may be located at the top of the gearcase. Identify the old seal that needs replacement.
4. Remove the Old Seal: Use a seal puller or a flat-head screwdriver to carefully pry the old seal out of its housing. Take care not to scratch or damage the housing surface.
5. Clean the Housing: Thoroughly clean the seal housing area to remove any old sealant, corrosion, or debris.
6. Install the New Seal: Lightly lubricate the outer edge of the new seal with marine grease. Use a seal driver or a socket of the appropriate size to press the new seal evenly into place until it is fully seated.
7. Reassemble the Lower Unit: Reattach the lower unit to the engine, ensuring the shift linkage, driveshaft, and water tube are properly aligned. Torque all bolts to manufacturer specifications.
8. Refill Gear Lube: Fill the gearcase with the recommended marine gear lube through the drain hole until it flows out of the vent hole. Reinstall the vent and drain screws with new gaskets.
9. Check for Leaks: After running the engine, check the seal area for any signs of oil leaks.
