Installation Notes
- Position the outboard vertically and place a drain pan beneath the lower unit.
- Remove the lower and upper gear-oil drain screws and allow the lubricant to drain completely.
- Unbolt and carefully slide the lower gearcase away from the outboard midsection.
- Remove the water-pump housing, impeller and bearing-carrier components as required to access the seals.
- Extract the old propeller-shaft and driveshaft seals carefully, noting their orientation and installation depth.
- Clean all sealing surfaces and remove old sealant, corrosion and debris.
- Lubricate the replacement seals with suitable marine grease and install them with the correct seal driver.
- Reassemble the lower unit in the reverse order, following the service manual for alignment, torque and sealant requirements.
- Refill the gearcase with the specified marine gear lubricant until lubricant flows from the upper vent opening, then reinstall both screws.
- Pressure- and vacuum-test the gearcase before returning the outboard to service.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How can I confirm this kit fits my specific engine?
Cross-reference 346650130 or 332601030 with your engine’s service manual or parts diagram, then confirm the exact model, year and serial-number range. The engine must also have the corresponding lower-unit configuration.
What are the signs that lower-unit seals are failing?
Common signs include milky or creamy gear oil, visible oil around the propeller shaft or driveshaft, or repeated loss of gear lubricant. A pressure and vacuum test is the definitive diagnostic method.
How often should lower-unit seals be replaced?
There is no universal replacement interval. Inspect the seals during routine water-pump or lower-unit service and replace them whenever the gearcase is opened or a leak is found, following the engine manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.
Is installation suitable for a DIY mechanic?
Lower-unit seal replacement requires intermediate mechanical skill and tools such as a seal puller and seal driver. Professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable disassembling and pressure-testing the gearcase.
How should the gearcase be tested after installation?
Use a suitable gearcase pressure tester and vacuum tester, and follow the manufacturer’s specified test values. Do not exceed the service-manual pressure limit. Check for leakage before operating the outboard.
Is additional sealant required?
Some lower-unit components may require marine-grade gasket compound or thread sealant, while others use only an O-ring or mechanical seal. Use sealant only where specified by the service manual.
Is this an OEM component?
No. This is an aftermarket replacement product. The listed Tohatsu/Nissan numbers are reference numbers for comparison and fitment verification.
What should I verify before ordering?
Compare the original part, reference numbers, engine model, horsepower, stroke, year and serial number. Do not rely on horsepower alone because lower-unit configurations may vary.
Safety & Important Information
- Verify the part numbers, engine identification and lower-unit configuration before purchase.
- Do not operate the outboard if gear oil is contaminated or the gearcase fails a pressure or vacuum test.
- Follow the engine manufacturer’s service manual for disassembly, torque values, lubricant type and sealant requirements.
- This is an aftermarket replacement, not an OEM component.
- Professional installation is recommended when special tools or gearcase disassembly are required.
