Default drive shaft seals 54 15hp Evinrude

The kit came with two thin seals rather than one thick one. I know I have read this on here before, but I think the enclosed metal ends on the seals are for one to go down and the other to go up?

That would leave the spring exposed to water. I doubt that seal would last long like that.
