Hi, I have a 27hp GDLT and i have to now replace the shaft and lower seals. I was wondering how hard this is gonna be and how long about? Any info would be great. thank you.

Fairly simple actually
Pending all goes to plan and nothing breaks.
Remove prop and nuts;
Remove upper yoke;
Remove upper seal;
Pull shaft from the bottom;
Replace lower seals;
Replace shaft in reverse order...

Should be 25 min start to finish. I'd replace all the shaft grease while I'm at it.

Well hopefully it all goes right dont sound to bad at all. I really appriciate the reply thanks.

For more details on the procedure you can go to the GoDevil website and download the maintenance manual in a PDF file.

Thanks I'm gonna take a look at it.

Thanks, I will. I will post pictures through the process.

hey if you're gonna replace the shaft save yourself some trouble. pull the shaft then put it in a vice and break the prop loose. thats the hardest part of the whole procedure. i would invest in an inexpensive 3/4-10 tap and die. chase the threads on prop and shaft each time you service.

Garjacker, I will try to get that prop off but man it's really on there. If I can get it then I will go with your suggestion. I appriciate it.

Just ordered all the parts and there on the way. Hopefully get them tuesday and be back on the water next weekend!

Parts came in today gonna hopefully get it done tommorow with no problems! I cant wait pretty excited.

Got it all done tonight, can't wait to try it out Saturday with the new prop hopefully tear some shiii up!
