Troubleshooting & FAQ
How can I be sure this part fits my engine?
This part fits many OMC models from 1978-1985. The best way to confirm is to match your engine's model, HP, and year to the 'Engine & Model Compatibility' table. If your original part number is listed, it is a compatible replacement.
What symptoms indicate a faulty bearing housing or seal?
Common signs include milky or water-contaminated gear lube (indicating a seal failure), grinding or whining noises from the lower unit, or visible gear oil leaking from the propeller shaft area.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Installation may require a bearing puller, a seal driver, and a torque wrench, in addition to standard mechanic's tools. Accessing the component requires disassembling parts of the lower unit. We recommend consulting a service manual for your specific model.
