OK,I was winterizing my boat today and didn't like what I saw when draining the gear lube.
How hard is it to reseal a upper and lower mechanical shift 800 stringer?
Thanks, Beef

How hard is it....... well depends on what your skill/knowledge level is.
A OMC manual would certainly be beneficial.
I redid 2 now and did not really have any difficulties. I am not god's gift to the mechanical world but I have been an auto mechanic for 25 yrs now.
Most difficult part on mine was the separating of some components due to corrosion. If you are doing it over the winter you have lots of time to be patient.

No problem for you beef.

Of course gonna need the kits.

The upper cause of the water pump in some units will always have water cause of the design.

And the stikin clutch housing you already must know always has water.

Couple tools you will need, real long truarc pliers, all they are are long needle nose, snap ring pliers.

I made my own with i think a 12' measured to the cross needle nose ground down the tips.

You already got pullers, i had to make a connecting bar.

And i made another puller.

Look if you run into a problem pm me ill send you my phone number.
