Greetings, My name is Benjamin Mantlow, everybody calls me Benny. Kept stumbling across this site trying to identify an oil leak on my outdrive and found this place to be a wealth of knowledge, so I decided to join. Boat has be parked for a few years due to me having some health problems. We had it out about 6 times this year, the last trip the warning bell came on and I found the drive oil monitor bottle low, so refilled it on the lake, got home and found drive oil leaking from what I now know is the shift shaft seal.(thanks to iboats and manuel #14)
1. Where can I get a list of all parts and part #'s needed for replacing shift shaft seal and water pump impellor? I pulled the entire outdrive as a unit and then separated.
2. Do these parts have to be OEM, are there any after market replacments?
3. What selants, grease needed, can I get at auto supply?

Below is picture of oil leaking from seal before pulling outdrive and next pic of what looks like seal is cocked and unseated. Could seal have been installed improperly or does this system run under any pressure and literally, blew seal out?
