Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this oil seal will fit my Bravo drive?
This seal fits most MerCruiser Bravo drives from 1988 and newer. Verify compatibility by checking your model and year against the tables provided, or by matching your existing part number to the references in the 'Part Number Matrix'. The serial number range table offers the most precise fitment validation.
What are the signs of a failing drive shaft oil seal?
Common signs include visible oil leaking from the drive yoke area, a milky or emulsified appearance in your drive oil (indicating water intrusion), or a consistently low drive oil level.
Can I install just one seal if the package contains two?
The package includes two seals because some specific drive yoke assemblies require two seals for a complete and proper installation. Always consult your service manual to determine if one or two seals are needed for your specific model. It is best practice to replace them as a set if required.
What is the recommended replacement interval for this seal?
There is no fixed interval, but oil seals should be inspected during regular annual service or anytime the drive unit is removed. It's recommended to replace them proactively every few years or immediately if any signs of wear, hardening, or leakage are detected.
Is any special tool required for installation?
While not strictly necessary, using a proper seal driver tool is highly recommended to ensure the seal is pressed in evenly without damage. Using an appropriately sized socket can also work. Avoid using a hammer directly on the seal.
What is the difference between part number 26-807006 and 26-18816?
Part number 26-18816 is a superseded (older) part number for 26-807006. They are functionally identical and interchangeable. This aftermarket seal replaces both.
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.
