Installation Guide

  1. Disconnect the battery and remove the lower unit from the outboard motor following manufacturer procedures. Drain all gearcase oil completely.
  2. Remove the old propeller shaft and carefully extract the drive shaft from the gearcase. Inspect all components for wear or damage.
  3. Remove all old seals, O-rings, and gaskets from the gearcase housing using appropriate seal removal tools. Clean all sealing surfaces thoroughly with a degreaser and lint-free cloth.
  4. Install the new propeller shaft seals using a seal driver or appropriate-sized socket, ensuring they seat squarely and to the correct depth. Apply marine-grade grease to seal lips.
  5. Install new O-rings and gaskets in their proper locations, lightly lubricating with gearcase oil or assembly grease. Do not overstretch O-rings during installation.
  6. Reinstall the drive shaft and propeller shaft, ensuring all components align correctly. Replace any bearings or washers as indicated in your service manual.
  7. Reassemble the lower unit to the motor housing using a new gasket and applying appropriate sealant where specified. Torque all fasteners to manufacturer specifications.
  8. Refill the gearcase with the correct grade and quantity of lower unit gear oil through the fill hole until oil appears at the vent hole. Install both drain and vent plugs with new washers.
  9. Reinstall the propeller with a new propeller shaft washer and cotter pin. Check that the propeller spins freely without binding.
  10. Reconnect the battery and perform a visual inspection for any oil leaks around seal areas. Run the engine in a test tank or on the water for 10-15 minutes.
  11. After the test run, recheck the gearcase oil level and inspect all seal areas for leaks. Top off oil if necessary.
  12. Monitor the lower unit for proper operation and check oil level after the first few hours of use. Regular maintenance intervals should be followed per manufacturer recommendations.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this seal kit fits my specific Johnson or Evinrude motor?
A: Cross-reference your engine's model, horsepower, and year with the compatibility table above. You can also verify by matching your current OEM part number (found on the old seal kit or in your service manual) with the part numbers listed in our cross-reference table. If your model year or configuration falls outside the listed ranges, contact us before purchasing.

Q: What are the signs that my lower unit seals need replacement?
A: Common symptoms include visible oil leaking from the propeller shaft area, milky or discolored gearcase oil (indicating water intrusion), excessive oil consumption, or unusual noise from the lower unit. If you notice any of these signs, inspect and replace seals promptly to prevent internal damage.

Q: How often should I replace lower unit seals?
A: Seal replacement intervals depend on usage and operating conditions. As a general guideline, inspect seals during annual service or every 100 hours of operation. Replace seals if you observe any leakage, perform major lower unit service, or after prolonged storage. Saltwater and heavy-duty use may require more frequent replacement.

Q: Does this kit include all seals needed for a complete lower unit rebuild?
A: This kit includes all the seals and O-rings shown in the product images, which typically cover the primary gearcase sealing points. For a complete lower unit rebuild, you may also need bearings, shims, and additional gaskets depending on your motor's condition. Refer to your service manual for a comprehensive parts list.

Q: Can I install this seal kit myself or do I need professional help?
A: Lower unit seal replacement requires mechanical aptitude, specialized tools (seal drivers, bearing pullers, torque wrench), and familiarity with outboard service procedures. If you have experience with marine maintenance and access to a service manual, DIY installation is feasible. Otherwise, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper assembly and prevent costly damage.

Q: Is this an OEM part or an aftermarket replacement?
A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.

Q: How fast do you ship and how much does it cost?
A: We offer fast global shipping—typically 5–15 days worldwide—and standard shipping is free. Expedited options are available at checkout depending on your location.

Best Shampoo/Conditioner I Have Ever Used
Scent: Nettle, Scent: Nettle
I purchased the Nettle Shampoo in hopes of getting my hair back to health after frying it off with bleach. I used it for the first time today and it is my favorite thing I have ever purchased for my hair. The smell of this is divine. I am not a sweet gourmand fan and this is just the most fresh scent I ever smelt I think. It honestly smells like a high end salon shampoo/conditioner duo. That is my favorite part about this product. Second favorite is that it actually does work soooo well! I put in quite a bit of oils and hair care before washing my hair and all of those oils were removed without leaving any waxy greasy feel to my hair. I was concerned it wouldn’t come out because this shampoo is 99% lather free. But it worked SO GOOD! It doesn’t feel dried out and brittle either. It’s just perfect I can’t stress it enough. 10/10 I wish there were more way I can say how much I adore this product. I have very fine hair by the way and it doesn’t weigh it down. I will keep using this and will update in maybe a month with pictures! Here’s the update: I used the shampoo and conditioner for idk probably a month. I’m not really sure. BUT I still absolutely love it. In the pictures I am going to attach, you can see that I had a decent amount of growth (the hair from the root that looks gray). My hair is quite oily after other hair care products were added so that’s why it looks the way it does. One more thing, the shampoo is very drying on the scalp I have noticed a little bit of dandruff and itchiness right after washing but I believe my scalp is getting used to it now because it’s getting less and less noticeable after every use. Keep in mind my hair had been chemically treated during the first week of use multiple times including bleach and box dye so that’s probably why it was irritated. I still absolutely adore the scent and the way it leaves my hair feeling light and clean and shiny and SOFTTT!

Great product, poorly designed bottles.
Scent: Onion Unscented
I like this product! However, the bottles are heavy, bulky and awkward, what a waste of plastic. The design is poor. The conditioner top was broken, and the product was so thick it was very hard to try and get out of the unyielding bottle when I unscrewed it. Had to ask for a replacement. But it smells great and leaves my hair very soft. I had gotten one for my mother (87) but the bottle was a little much for her, too bad. There's less in it than what it looks like, as it has an inner, smaller container. A lot of trouble and cost to save a small amount of product.

Great product for damaged bleached hair
Scent: Keratin
Great shampoo and conditioner. Smooths the frizzy ends. I bleach my hair and I am unhappy that this product appears to have washed or altered the toner. I have platinum bleached hair and I put a pale blonde toner on it. I waited 4 days after I bleached and toned my hair to use your product and the end result was yellow hair not that beautiful pale blonde color. I will play around with purple shampoo and your product to see if I can find a happy medium because I do love the silky feeling on my damaged over-processed hair. Thanks for developing such a wonderful product for damaged hair

Shiny Hair? Yes please
Scent: Onion Unscented
I have used this product just a few times since buying it. It made my hair shiny and smooth. Very minimal frizz. I bought it after doing research on how women helped their hair before all these hair products came out and Onion water was one of the top answers. After believing that I wanted onion smell in my hair, I came across this product and it actually smells SO NICE. After blow drying my hair, my hair was fuller and bouncier. I saw a difference right away. I have seen less hair in my shower drain and I honestly couldn't be happier with this combo.

Excellent product at a very fair price
Scent: Caffeine
I have been using the caffeine version of this shampoo and conditioner for a little over three months. I like to give a new shampoo and conditioner about three months before concluding if it’s a hit or a miss. Originally, I was using the biotin version of this shampoo for approximately two years and was very happy with the results. I needed to reorder, so I was looking over the other options in this same brand. This brand is considered to be a good quality product. I did do a bit of research before originally purchasing the biotin version. The biotin version is a lightweight product that did not weigh my hair down with build up over several uses. I ended up needing to use a clarifying shampoo only about once a month, as opposed to once every week. I have very fine, thin hair and a lot of products I have tried over the years have not worked for me because of the heaviness that leaves my hair flat. I did not have this result with the Bellisso Biotin shampoo. Bellisso is very well priced, and in my opinion, is comparable to more expensive salon products. I do like to try new things, so trying a different version of a brand that I was already happy with seemed like it didn’t come with much risk. Comparing the two versions, biotin vs caffeine: The biotin option worked very well on my fine, thin hair. The shampoo had a bit of a lower amount of foaming, but it did get my hair clean. The biotin conditioner also worked well, and was easy to rinse out and did not leave a residue on my hair. The caffeine version is very different than the biotin version, but neither in a good way or a bad way. Just different. I noticed that much less product of the caffeine shampoo and conditioner is needed to get the job done. The amount of product needed is probably highly dependent on your particular hair, so keep in mind, I probably have less hair than most people. The shampoo foams ALOT. I didn’t mind this at all. Per the instructions on the bottle, you are supposed to apply and massage your scalp and rinse after 2-3 minutes so the caffeine can be absorbed into your scalp, so having that extra foaming helps. This is meant to stimulate circulation in the scalp, and promote hair growth. If you are the girl that is always in a hurry, this is probably not the version of this shampoo for you :) The caffeine conditioner goes a very long way, so best to start with half as much as you normally use and go from there. All in all, I’m happy with both versions and I would definitely consider trying another version of this brand. I would highly recommend this brand in whichever version suits your personal hair type and needs. The price is right, as is the quality.
