I have water in the lower gear case. I have the lower unit off so I want to change every seal as this older motor has probably not been serviced in 20 years. I recognize most of the seals but not all. As I see it, these are the places water can get in that I know of. 1. The drain/fill plugs. 2. The oil seal at the prop. 3. The drive shaft seal. 4. The spaghetti seal at the skeg. (I'm probably missing some). Will this kit take care of any leaks. (Assuming all the infrastructure is sound).

There is also one on the shift rod under that brass bushing. You have to tap it out from the other side CAREFULLY with a 1/4 inch punch. There will be an oring under it.

So this kit should do it then?

When you're all done, make sure it's pressure & vacuum checked.

The small fat one is the shifter O ring. It is one of the key ones as well as the prop shaft seal.

It's #19 and #20 in this photo. And I have the entire parts manual if you want it. PM me with your request if so.

Hey, I just noticed they lisgt an "impeller repair kit" at the bottom which differs in part #'s from the impeller. Anyone know how they repaired em? Huh.
