- Drain the lower unit gear lubricant completely.
- Carefully disassemble the lower unit, keeping all bolts and components organized. Note the location and orientation of each old gasket and seal.
- Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces to remove old gasket material, sealant, and corrosion. Surfaces must be perfectly clean and dry for a proper seal.
- Install the new gaskets and seals from the kit. Lightly lubricate seals with fresh gear lube before installation.
- Reassemble the lower unit, ensuring all components are aligned correctly. Tighten all bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications in the correct sequence.
- Refill the lower unit with new, manufacturer-specified gear lubricant to the correct level.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if I need to replace my lower unit gaskets?
The most common sign of a failing lower unit seal is milky or discolored gear lube, which indicates water intrusion. Other signs include visible oil leaks around the propeller shaft or drain screws, or a recurring loss of gear lube.
Will this kit fit any Tohatsu or Nissan 8 or 9.8 HP engine?
No, it is model- and year-specific. Please use the compatibility table provided on this page to confirm that this kit fits your exact engine model and year. Do not rely on horsepower alone.
Is any special sealant required with these gaskets?
Generally, these gaskets are designed to be installed on clean, dry surfaces without additional sealant. However, always consult your engine's service manual, as some locations may specify a light application of a specific sealant.
