Driveshaft Oil Seal for Johnson and Evinrude Outboards – Replaces OEM 332261 and 0332261

Product Details

This Driveshaft Oil Seal is an aftermarket replacement seal for selected Johnson and Evinrude outboard gearcase applications. It is intended to help retain gearcase lubricant and limit water or contaminant entry at the driveshaft sealing point.

The seal is cross-referenced to OEM part numbers 332261 and 0332261. Catalog references also identify aftermarket equivalents Sierra 18-2065 and GLM 22420.

• Replacement oil seal for selected Johnson and Evinrude gearcase applications
• Used at the driveshaft sealing location in applicable lower-unit assemblies
• Helps maintain lubricant retention and protect against water intrusion
• Single replacement seal; verify the original seal position and dimensions before ordering

Part Number Matrix

Use the following references to compare the replacement seal with your original part. Part-number references do not replace model, year, serial-number, and seal-position verification.

Engine & Model Compatibility

Available catalog references place OEM 0332261 in Johnson/Evinrude gearcase applications, including 20–35 HP thru-prop-exhaust component listings. Other catalog records identify the same number as an upper driveshaft seal on selected 2012 Evinrude 15 HP and 25 HP 2-stroke models. Because seal position and gearcase configuration can vary, confirm the exact model, year, serial number, stroke, gearcase type, and original seal location before installation.

Installation Notes

1. Identify the engine model, year, serial number, gearcase configuration, and seal position before beginning service.
2. Remove the lower unit and related components according to the applicable manufacturer service manual.
3. Drain the gearcase lubricant and inspect it for water, metal debris, or other contamination.
4. Remove the old seal carefully with a suitable seal puller, taking care not to damage the shaft, seal bore, or adjacent components.
5. Clean the seal bore and inspect the shaft and bore for scoring, corrosion, or wear. Correct any underlying damage before fitting the replacement seal.
6. Lubricate the seal lip and shaft with the lubricant specified for the application.
7. Install the seal squarely with a suitable seal driver or appropriately sized installation tool. Do not strike the sealing lip directly.
8. Reassemble the gearcase and refill it with the manufacturer-specified lubricant.
9. Check the gearcase for leaks after service and recheck the lubricant condition after initial operation.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Is this a complete gearcase seal kit?

No. This listing is for one replacement driveshaft oil seal only. It does not include additional seals, O-rings, gaskets, bearings, lubricant, or installation tools.

Does this seal fit every Johnson or Evinrude outboard?

No. The reference numbers are used across selected applications, but exact fitment depends on the engine model, year, serial number, stroke, gearcase configuration, and seal position. Confirm those details before ordering.

What are the listed replacement numbers?

The primary OEM references are 332261 and 0332261. Cataloged aftermarket cross-references include Sierra 18-2065 and GLM 22420.

Why should the seal position be verified?

Gearcases may use multiple oil seals, and a part number can be associated with a specific location such as the upper driveshaft position. Compare the original seal, its location, and its dimensions with the applicable service information.

How do I know if a gearcase seal is failing?

Possible symptoms include lubricant leakage, milky or discolored gearcase oil caused by water intrusion, or a falling lubricant level. Inspect the complete gearcase assembly to identify the source before replacing the seal.

Can I reuse the old seal?

Seals should generally be replaced rather than reused after removal or gearcase disassembly. A removed seal may have a damaged lip or distorted sealing surface even when the damage is not immediately visible.

Do I need special tools to install this seal?

A suitable seal driver or appropriately sized installation tool is recommended for square, even installation. Avoid applying impact directly to the sealing lip or damaging the seal bore.

Is this an OEM part?

No. This listing is for an aftermarket replacement. The OEM numbers are provided as reference numbers for fitment comparison.
