I want to reseal my lower unit - 1971 50 HP. My service manual shows a big rubber seal (kinda looks like a house on it's side) in the center of the unit. I came up with Sierra Pt# 18-2688 which covers 1971-1974, but it does not come with this rubber seal. The next seal kit on the list is Sierra 19-2659 which covers 1976-1988 and this kit includes the fat seal. When I clicked on the Mallory seal kit for 76-88, it has different seals/gaskets than the Sierra kit.

Which seal are you referring to?......#66?

If you are resealing the whole lower unit you need to buy the kit for '71-'74.....and #66 as a seperate item if you really need to replace it (still available OEM).....that is an exhaust seal only, sometimes they are in good enough condition to reuse with the addition of some gasket sealing compound.
