Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this seal kit fits my engine?
This kit fits Mercury Force 40 HP and 50 HP 2-stroke outboards from 1992–1994 with serial numbers from 0E000001 through 0E093699. Always verify your OEM part number is 26-820645A1 and check the compatibility table details before ordering.
What are the signs my lower unit seals are failing?
The most common signs of seal failure are milky or creamy-looking gear lube (due to water intrusion), visible oil leaking from the propeller shaft area, or a consistent drop in gear oil level.
How often should lower unit seals be replaced?
As a best practice, you should inspect your gear lube after every season. We recommend replacing lower unit seals every 2-3 years as preventative maintenance, or immediately if you notice signs of water contamination or leaks.
