I've got a 1956 Johnson QD-17, (and a couple of identical Evinrude 10012s too) that I need to replace the lower unit seals on. Everywhere I look, I can only find info for seal kits back to 1958.

Are the 1958 Lower units the same as 1956? I was under the impression they were, but I need to be sure.
If not, can anyone tell me a part number (OMC, BRP, Sierra, Mallory, NAPA, whatever) for a seal kit for these particular models?

I've searched through the forums to answer this question, and it's been asked before, but not responded to.

They are the same, except for the prop shaft seal. It is different.

Sierra does not carry the kit.

You can get a kit from vintageoutboard.com, or laingsoutboards.com

...and just to note, the gearcases are NOT interchangeable either, just so you know. The '58 has a 4 bolt gearcase, whereas the '56 has a 5 bolt.
