Installation Notes

- Disconnect the shift linkage and remove the bolts securing the lower unit to the engine. Carefully lower the gearcase.
- Remove the propeller, bearing carrier, and driveshaft components to access the old seals. Note the orientation of each seal before removal.
- Thoroughly clean all sealing surfaces, ensuring they are free of old adhesive, corrosion, or debris.
- Install the new seals and O-rings from the kit, using a proper seal driver or appropriately sized socket. Ensure they are seated correctly and uniformly.
- Reassemble the driveshaft, bearing carrier, and propeller, torquing all fasteners to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Reinstall the lower unit, reconnect the shift linkage, and refill with fresh marine gear lubricant before testing.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
What are the signs of a failing lower unit seal?
The most common sign is "milky" or cloudy gear lube, which indicates water has mixed with the oil. You might also notice gear oil leaking from the propeller shaft area or around the drain plugs. A pressure test of the gearcase can definitively diagnose a leak.
Is this kit compatible with other engine years or models?
No, this kit is specifically for the Johnson/Evinrude 85, 100, and 125 HP models from 1971–1972 that use the large propeller shaft. Using it on other models will result in leaks and potential gearcase damage. Always verify your engine's model and year.
How can I confirm I have the "large prop shaft" version?
The most reliable method is to check your engine's model number against the compatibility list or your service manual. Visually comparing your old seals to the pictures and part numbers in this listing can also help, but checking the model number is definitive.
How often should I replace my lower unit seals?
Seals should be inspected annually when you change your gear lube. It is recommended to replace them every 2-3 years as part of preventative maintenance, or immediately if you notice any signs of leaks or water intrusion.
Do I need special tools for this installation?
While basic hand tools are required, a seal puller and a proper seal driver set are highly recommended to prevent damage to the new seals or the gearcase housing during installation. A torque wrench is essential for correct reassembly.
