Installation Guide

  1. Disconnect the spark plug wire and place the outboard in a stable, upright position. Drain all gear oil from the lower unit into an appropriate container.
  2. Remove the propeller, then disconnect the shift linkage at the lower unit. Unbolt and separate the lower unit from the midsection.
  3. Disassemble the lower unit housing to access the drive shaft, propeller shaft, and bearings. Remove old seals carefully to avoid damaging seal surfaces.
  4. Clean all seal surfaces, bearing races, and housing bores thoroughly with a suitable solvent. Inspect for wear, corrosion, or damage; replace bearings if necessary.
  5. Lubricate new seals lightly with gear oil. Install seals using the correct drivers or installation tools, ensuring they are seated squarely and to the proper depth.
  6. Reassemble the lower unit components in reverse order, ensuring all snap rings, washers, and shims are correctly positioned. Apply marine-grade sealant to mating surfaces as specified.
  7. Reattach the lower unit to the midsection and torque all fasteners to manufacturer specifications. Reconnect the shift linkage and verify smooth operation through all gears.
  8. Refill the lower unit with the recommended type and quantity of gear oil. Check for leaks and proper oil level at both fill and vent screws.
  9. Reinstall the propeller and torque the propeller nut to specification. Reconnect the spark plug wire and perform a water test to confirm proper sealing and operation.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this seal kit fits my engine?
A: Cross-reference your outboard's horsepower, model year, and OEM part number with the compatibility table above. If your engine falls within the listed HP ranges (20–35 HP, 2-stroke) and years (1976–2005), this kit should fit. Always compare the seal kit contents with your exploded parts diagram to verify.

Q: How often should I replace the gearcase seals?
A: Replace gearcase seals whenever you notice milky or contaminated gear oil, evidence of water intrusion, or during lower unit overhaul. Many technicians recommend inspecting seals every 2–3 years or 200–300 operating hours, and replacing them proactively during bearing or impeller service.

Q: What are the signs of failing lower unit seals?
A: Common symptoms include milky or frothy gear oil (indicating water intrusion), oil leaking from the lower unit, unusual noise or vibration from the gearcase, or difficulty shifting. Any of these signs warrant immediate inspection and seal replacement.

Q: Can I reuse the old seals if they look okay?
A: No. Seals are designed for single use; removing them typically distorts the sealing lip. Always install new seals during any lower unit service to ensure reliable performance and prevent costly water damage or gear failure.

Q: Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.

Q: How fast do you ship and how much does it cost?
A: We offer fast global shipping—typically 5–15 days worldwide—and standard shipping is free. Expedited options are available at checkout depending on your location.

Q: What is your warranty and return policy?
A: This product includes a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If something goes wrong, contact our support team with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard return window (unused & in original condition); please see our policy page or reach out for instructions.

Enjoy a beachin' experience in the shower.
Scent: Aquatic
I enjoy Cremo's body wash products. They work well with my skin and body chemistry. Not overly drying or overly moisturizing. Foams nicely with a silicone body scrubber, rinses cleanly. Scent during the shower is very nice. Smells like sun screen and salt water with some coconut undertones, you feel like you just got back on a boat in the Caribbean after swimming in the ocean. It is not super sweet smelling coconut. After drying, some scent remains on skin, lingers maybe an hour or two, not overpowering, doesn't smell like a teenager. Product performs nicely, good value for the scent, quality of body wash, and size. Keep these coming Cremo, don't mess up this product line.

Great smell for the summer
Scent: Aquatic
Smells like a variety of citrus and a bit of the classic shower gel, really great scent for the summer and pairs well with colognes of citrus or fresh notes. Doesn't dry out skin and you'll still smell it for a good while on you after a couple of hours for me the scent last maybe 5-6 hours.

Nice refreshing seasonal body wash
Scent: Aquatic
Good fragrance body wash. I really do like cremos limited seasonal fragrances. This one is light and refreshing. Wish it would last a bit longer but overall does lather well and smells great while showering. A little goes a long way so I do appreciate that this bottle should last long. The viscosity of the liquid is easy to pour and suds up nicely with a loofah. Overall good value and would recommend.
