Purchased a boat this year w/ a pair of Counter Rotating 175 Johnsons.
Plan on installing water pump repair kits in both and resealing both lower units.
Question: the parts list call for seal kits w/ single or double seals......yet the P/N called out (5006373) is the same for both and either std or counter rotation. Anything to be concerned about here?

I think the kits come with both seals now...dont quote me on that though. I seal lots of different brand motors and I get it confused sometimes. Rotation shouldn't matter on seal kits. Seals dont care which way things spin (as long as you throw them a fish;) lol)

Tony, off subject, but can you find proper Left Hand Rotation props for your motor? Replacement gearcases from SEI are pretty cheap, compared to resealing yours and then not being able to find the correct props,

There should be lots of left hand props around for V-6 Johnson / Evinrudes, new and used.
