Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this gasket fits my OMC engine?
This gasket is for OMC 400-800 series sterndrives manufactured between 1978 and 1985. The most reliable way to confirm fitment is to match the OEM part number (0909604 or 909604) with the part number listed in your engine's service manual.
What are the symptoms of a failed shift housing cover gasket?
Common signs include milky, water-contaminated gear lube (indicating water intrusion), visible oil leaks from the housing area, or shifting problems caused by internal corrosion from water entry.
Should I use sealant with this gasket?
Consult your specific service manual. Some applications require the gasket to be installed dry, while others recommend a light, even coat of a marine-grade gasket sealant. Using the wrong method can cause leaks or damage.
How is this aftermarket part different from the OEM version?
Functionally, there is no difference. This is an aftermarket part manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for material, fit, and performance, offering a comparable seal at a more accessible price point.
When should this gasket be replaced?
This gasket should be replaced every time the component it seals (the shift housing cover) is removed for service or inspection. It is not considered a scheduled maintenance item with a fixed replacement interval.
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.
