Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the spark plug leads and shift the outboard into neutral.
  2. Place a drain pan under the gearcase and remove the drain and vent screws to empty the gear oil.
  3. Remove the bolts securing the lower unit to the midsection.
  4. Carefully separate the lower unit from the engine. You may need to disconnect a speedometer tube or shift linkage.
  5. Remove the old packing gasket from the top of the gearcase. Thoroughly clean both mating surfaces, removing all old gasket material and corrosion.
  6. Place the new gasket into position, ensuring it is correctly aligned with all passages.
  7. Carefully guide the lower unit back into place, aligning the driveshaft, water tube, and shift shaft.
  8. Reinstall the mounting bolts and tighten them to the manufacturer's specified torque in the correct sequence.
  9. Install a new-in-package drain screw washer and refill the gearcase with the recommended marine gear lubricant.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this gasket fits my specific engine?

This gasket fits a range of Yamaha 6HP and 8HP 2-stroke models manufactured between 1984 and 2009. The most reliable method is to find your engine's model code and year, then compare it against the detailed compatibility table provided on this page.

What are the signs of a failing lower case gasket?

The most common sign of a bad gasket is water intrusion into the gearcase, which makes the gear oil appear milky or creamy. Other symptoms include visible oil leaks from the seam between the lower unit and the upper casing or a metallic sheen in the oil from bearing wear.

Can I reuse my old gasket if it looks okay?

No. This is a single-use compression gasket. It is designed to crush and create a seal one time. Reusing it will almost certainly lead to a leak, causing catastrophic gearcase failure. Always install a new gasket whenever the lower unit is serviced.

What's the difference between 6G1-45315-A0-00 and the older 6G1-45315-00-00?

The part number 6G1-45315-A0-00 is the official replacement (supersession) for the original 6G1-45315-00-00 part. They are functionally identical and fully interchangeable. This gasket replaces both versions.

Do I need to use gasket sealant or adhesive during installation?

Typically, this gasket is installed dry. The gasket material itself is designed to create the seal. However, it's always best practice to consult the official service manual for your specific Yamaha engine model, as procedures can vary slightly.
