Just replaced the o-ring and prop shaft oil seals in my lower unit because it was leaking. Put it all back together and pressure tested it and same crapping thing! The o-ring was the original problem but I figured while in there I would replace the prop seals too. Now the dead gummed o-ring is still leaking. What am I missing?

Re: I'm Stumped!

Havent had this prob before but can offer general advice:1. are you sure its leaking at the o ring?2. If so, is housing cracked or damaged there? Can you tell if its leaking at exactly the same spot as before? this would be a clue.3. Dissassemble. Look at both new and old o ring for signs of damage. Mark orientation of o ring before removal.5. Put some sealant on o ring when you re assemble.6. Dont give up. o satisfaction guaranteed if you do.

Re: I'm Stumped!

Assuming it was the correct o-ring and seal, and assuming it seated correctly, how much pressure did you apply? Is it possible that you blew it out?
