• Propeller shaft sealing ring for the lower gear unit
• 0.073 kg
• Listed for 29 applications across D series engines and DPH, IPS and DPI drives
• Consolidates references 3863080 and 3863081, catalogued earlier as a gasket kit

🔌 Function

Seals the propeller shaft where it leaves the lower gear unit, holding gear oil in and keeping sea water out of the gearcase.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Milky, grey or creamy gear oil at the drain check
• Gear oil level falling between services
• Oil film or slick around the propeller hub
• Fishing line or weed found wound behind the propeller and cut into the seal
• Sealing lip found hardened, split or grooved on removal

🛠️ Service Notes

• Sealing rings are single-use - fit new and never refit one that has been removed
• The two numbers it replaces were listed as gasket kits, so check whether the rest of those kit contents are also wanted
• Inspect the shaft sealing surface for a wear groove before fitting - a new seal will not cure a grooved shaft
