Hi, 4 days ago I replaced the prop shaft seal on my 1972 johnson seahorse 9.5 hp. I was told I could use permatex 2 in the gasket groove in the skeg and on the screw threads. The squeeze out is still soft/sticky. I haven't refilled the lower unit yet. Was I misadvised about permatex 2. Thanks.
Can anyone tell me if the prop shaft oil seal can be replaced without droping the lower unit? I'm thinking it can be carfully drilled and pulled. Then a new one slipped on with the shaft in place. What kind of sealant should the seal be bedded in? Thanks.
