## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Gear housing from the Marine Propulsion group
-   5.153 kg
-   Supersedes part number 23040692
-   Listed for eight D series applications

## 🔌 Function

Encloses and supports the gear set, holding the bearings and shafts in their machined bores so the gears mesh correctly and the assembly stays oil-tight.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Whine, growl or rumble from the drive that changes with speed
-   Oil weeping from a joint face or from a shaft seal
-   Metal glitter in the drained oil
-   Bearing bores worn, stepped or blued, so new bearings are loose
-   Cracks at a bolt boss or across a bearing web found on strip-down

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Renew the bearings, seals and gaskets with the housing, since a housing that has failed rarely leaves them serviceable
-   Check the gears and shafts for damage before rebuilding, as debris from the original failure will still be in the assembly
