Troubleshooting & FAQ
How can I confirm this kit fits my specific engine model?
Your best confirmation method is to cross-reference the OEM part numbers (346650130, 332601030) with your engine's service manual or parts diagram. While the table lists compatible models, an OEM number match is the most reliable check.
What are the signs that my lower unit seals are failing?
Common signs include milky or creamy-looking gear oil (indicating water intrusion), visible oil leaks around the propeller shaft or driveshaft, or a recurring loss of gear lubricant. A pressure and vacuum test of the gearcase is the definitive diagnostic method.
How often should I replace my lower unit seals?
There is no fixed interval, but seals should be inspected during every water pump service (typically every 1-2 years or 100-200 hours). It is standard practice to replace them whenever the gearcase is opened for service to ensure reliability.
Is this a difficult installation for a DIY mechanic?
Replacing lower unit seals requires intermediate mechanical skill and some special tools, such as a seal puller and driver. If you are not comfortable disassembling the gearcase, we strongly recommend professional installation to prevent damage.
How can I test the gearcase for leaks after installation?
A leak test requires a gearcase pressure tester. The standard procedure is to pressurize the unit to approximately 10-12 PSI and check that it holds pressure for several minutes. Then, apply a vacuum of 5-7 in-Hg and ensure it holds. Never exceed the manufacturer's specified pressure.
Do I need any special sealant in addition to this kit?
While the kit contains the primary seals, you may need a suitable marine-grade gasket sealing compound for surfaces like the bearing carrier O-ring or where specified by your service manual to ensure a perfect seal.
