Long time reader, first time poster. You all have a wonderful site here, I've learned a ton and it's gotten me out of a number of mechanical jams.
One question that I couldn't find the answer to using the search function:
My boat has a mercruiser 3.0 with a Alpha One, Gen II outdrive. I just did my first water pump replacement and cannot seam to understand what holds the seal on top of the stainless pump housing in place. I used the tool to set it, but just don't understand what's keeping this seal in place from sliding up the shaft away from the pump housing.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
