Common signs of failure:

  

• Gear lubricant leaks

• Gear oil becomes milky

• Water enters the lower unit

• O-ring is flattened

• Bearing-housing bore is corroded

• Internal gears and bearings show water damage

  

Installation considerations:

  

• Remove the bearing housing with the proper puller

• Inspect the housing and gearcase bore

• Clean the O-ring groove

• Lubricate the new O-ring with approved gearcase lubricant

• Do not twist or stretch it excessively

• Protect the O-ring from sharp housing edges

• Seat the bearing housing squarely

• Pressure- and vacuum-test the gearcase

• Refill with the specified gear lubricant
