Installation Notes

Professional installation is highly recommended. The general steps are as follows:

  1. Drain the gearcase oil completely. Inspect the old oil for metal shavings or a milky appearance, which indicates water intrusion.
  2. Disassemble the lower unit to access the driveshaft and prop shaft seals. This typically involves removing the propeller, bearing carrier, and water pump housing.
  3. Carefully remove all old seals, gaskets, and O-rings, taking care not to scratch the housing surfaces.
  4. Thoroughly clean all sealing surfaces to ensure they are free of old adhesive, corrosion, or debris.
  5. Install the new seals and O-rings from the kit using appropriate seal drivers. Lubricate seals with marine grease before installation.
  6. Reassemble the lower unit, ensuring all components are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications.
  7. Perform a pressure and vacuum test on the gearcase to confirm the new seals are properly seated and holding.
  8. Refill the gearcase with fresh, high-quality lower unit lubricant to the correct level.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my lower unit seals are failing?

Common signs include milky, grey gear lube (indicating water has mixed with the oil), visible oil leaks around the propeller shaft or driveshaft, or metal shavings in the drained oil, which can result from corrosion caused by water intrusion.

Is this kit compatible with a Chrysler-branded engine?

Yes, this kit fits specific early Force outboards, which were derived from Chrysler Marine designs. It is compatible with the Force models and years listed in the compatibility table.

Do I need special tools for this installation?

Yes, installation typically requires a seal puller, seal drivers or sockets of the correct size to press in the new seals without damaging them, and a gearcase pressure tester. Professional installation is recommended to ensure a leak-free result.

How often should lower unit seals be replaced?

There is no fixed interval, but seals should be inspected annually when you change the gear lube. It's good practice to replace them if you notice any signs of leakage or if the outboard is more than 5-7 years old and they have never been changed, especially if used in saltwater.

What is the difference between this kit and the OEM version?

This aftermarket kit is designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit and function, using comparable materials. The primary difference is the price point, offering a cost-effective solution for repairs.

Can I install this myself?

While possible for experienced mechanics, we strongly recommend professional installation. An improper seal installation can lead to catastrophic gearcase failure, which is a much more expensive repair.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
