Re: Water in shaft housing? Lower seals being bad is about the only way that's possible.... Unless you have somehow mounted your motor to the bottom of the boat instead of the top lol

Re: Water in shaft housing? Clean the grass from in between the nut and seal housing after every trip. That shit dries out like rope and eats seals.

Re: Water in shaft housing? Is it a grease seal or an oil seal?

Re: Water in shaft housing? FYI, old style is two seals back to back. New style is two seals back to back and a scraper seal. Scraper seal is closest to the prop and the side with writing faces the engine.

Re: Water in shaft housing? Thank you all! I believe it is a newer style. I could more than likely get the grease seals from Napa? I would just order them from GD but I need to get this resolved this weekend.,

Re: Water in shaft housing? You may find something that will get you by, but I believe the ones from GD are a proprietary design that's manufactured for them.

Re: Water in shaft housing? In addition to Kibb...How do you store your motor? If you store it outside and uncovered, you could have water intrusion from the top near the universal joint. Unlikely, but I would check to rule it out.
