OMC 800 Seal

[wildturk]

I am looking for a part number for a seal the seal i am looking for is the seal that seats on the bottom of the upper unit where the upper unit meets the lower unit this said seal has a groove in it that is where it would mount to the bottom of the upper. Thanks in advance and yes i have searched for 2 days now with no joy and every exploded view is not showing said seal in the parts.

I would buy a complete seal kit myself

Re: OMC 800 Seal

does that seal come in the kit? If it does, then yeah, you're a good part of the way to buying the kit $ wise.

Pretty sure the Sierra kit doesn't include that seal, but the Evinrude (BRP) one might... not sure.

Re: OMC 800 Seal

good question. I bought my last kit in 2005. could not tell you if it had that seal in it or not. Did not buy a Sierra kit though.

Both the upper and lower unit seal kits did not include this seal nor the exhaust seal and spring that fits in the front of the upper " Part numbers 26/27". I had purchased both and now just those 2 seals away from completing a full reseal of my outdrive.

Perfect timing. I am in need of this myself and couldn't find it.

Re: OMC 800 Seal

I am about to start this project tomorrow. When installing the impeller back into the new housing does it rotate in CCW or CW can't seem to find out what direction i should rotate it in via the manual i have.

Re: OMC 800 Seal

as you face the ball gear (#55) of the upper gearbox on the bench, that ball gear normally turns clockwise. I always forget impeller direction but I reference it from that. Just nudge the ball gear clockwise and watch the vertical shaft.
One misconception is that the vanes will flip and correct themselves if you get it wrong. They won't.

This is what I watched before I did mine. OMC water pump kit assembly - YouTube
