- Ensure the work area is clean and safe. Place the drive in the full tilt position and drain the gear lube completely.
- Remove the propeller shaft assembly from the sterndrive according to the manufacturer's service manual.
- Carefully inspect the bearing housing and shaft for scoring or damage. Use a seal puller to remove the old seals without damaging the housing.
- Thoroughly clean the seal bores in the housing, removing any old sealant or corrosion.
- Lightly coat the outer edge of the new seals with a suitable sealant and the inner lips with marine grease.
- Using a seal driver or an appropriately sized socket, press the new seals into the housing until they are fully seated. Ensure they are straight.
- Reinstall the propeller shaft assembly, torquing all fasteners to the specified values.
- Refill the sterndrive with fresh, high-quality gear lube as specified by the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this seal kit is correct for my drive?
This kit fits a wide range of Volvo Penta DP and DPS drives. The best way to confirm is to check your drive's model number against the compatibility list or by cross-referencing your old seal part numbers (853808 and 853807).
What are the signs of a failing prop shaft seal?
Common signs include water in the gear lube (milky or cloudy appearance), a visible gear lube leak from the propeller shaft area, or fishing line tangled around the shaft, which can quickly destroy a seal.
How often should prop shaft seals be replaced?
It is recommended to inspect prop shaft seals annually and replace them as a preventative measure every 2-3 years, or immediately if you notice any signs of leakage or water intrusion in your gear lube.
Is this kit for the inner or outer prop shaft on a DuoProp system?
This kit contains the two essential seals for the propeller shaft carrier in Volvo Penta DP (DuoProp) and DPS drives, covering both sealing points to prevent water from entering the gearcase.
