Installation Guide

  1. Drain the gearcase lubricant completely by removing the drain and vent screws.
  2. Remove the propeller and any associated hardware.
  3. Unbolt and carefully separate the lower unit (gearcase) from the outboard's midsection.
  4. Disassemble the gearcase components as required to access the propeller shaft and driveshaft seals.
  5. Carefully extract all old seals and O-rings from their housings, taking care not to scratch the sealing surfaces.
  6. Thoroughly clean all components and sealing surfaces of old sealant, oil, and debris.
  7. Lubricate the new seals with marine grease and press them into place using a suitable seal driver or socket.
  8. Reassemble the gearcase, ensuring all components are installed correctly and bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications.
  9. Re-install the lower unit onto the engine.
  10. Refill the gearcase with the manufacturer-recommended lubricant to the proper level.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this seal kit fits my Mercury engine?
Verify your engine's model and horsepower rating against the "Compatible Engine Models" table. For V8 Racing models, it is critical to confirm your serial number is 1E080500 or newer, and for AMS Racing models, 1E081459 or newer. Always cross-reference the OEM part number, 8M0142979 or 26-8M0142979, with your engine's service manual to ensure an exact match.

What are the common signs that my gearcase seals are failing?
The most common sign is milky or water-contaminated gear lube when you drain it. Other symptoms include visible oil leaking from the propeller shaft area or a persistent sheen of oil on the water around your lower unit after it has been sitting.

Is any special tool required for installation?
While basic hand tools are sufficient for disassembly, using a dedicated seal puller and a proper seal driver (or a socket of the exact correct diameter) is highly recommended. This ensures the old seals are removed and new seals are installed without damaging the seal or its housing, preventing future leaks.

Great toy but if your dog is an aggressive chewer, please think twice.
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I received this on May 23rd and on June 8th, after playing with this thing every day, our recently acquired 36 lb dog finally ripped it open and got out all the plastic and the squeaky part. Lily Belle will miss you, chicken. Lily loooooved this toy! She'd toss it in the air, chew on it, pull it with her teeth etc. but as much as she loved it, we won't replace it. It's just not durable enough for her. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, you might want to try a different toy. I hate that this lasted just a smidge over two weeks because Lily seemed to truly enjoy this toy. RIP, squeaky chicken!

Amazing and cute
Size: Small, Color: Pink, Size: Small, Color: Pink
I have a puppy who absolutely adores her toys, especially now that she’s teething! I picked out some pink ones that are just right for her—she’s only 2 1/2 months old and weighs 2 lbs. The best part is the variety of toys she loves to play with.

Built to Chew, Designed to Last – A Teething Pup’s Best Friend!
Size: Small, Color: Pink
These puppy chew toys are adorable and well made! I picked the pink set for my girl, but they come in several color options to suit any pup’s personality. So far, she hasn’t destroyed a single one — which says a lot, because she’s definitely in her teething phase. That said, I do wish she’d chew on the toys more than she chews on me — ha! She seems to enjoy them most when I’m playing with her, so they’ve become a fun bonding tool. I also really appreciate that a couple of the toys can hold small treats. That keeps her entertained a bit longer and gives my hands a much-needed break. Overall, this is a great little starter kit for teething puppies. Durable, cute, and interactive — we’re both happy with it!

Bad Qualify - Toxic Plastic, Not Good or Safe
Size: Small, Color: Purple
These are toxic micro-plastic toys. They are especially bad for teething puppies sharp teeth. Within an hour of playing, pieces began to chip off and easily falling apart. If you don’t heed this warning to buy something else, at least monitor your dog when in use, never leave unattended and plan to throw them away when they start to break down. It’s a shame because the set is really cute and has ideal texture my dog loved with a nice variety of shapes. Not worth the risk though for a member of the family.

its okay
Size: Small, Color: Green
This set of 4 puppy toys is overall decent and a good option for light play. The toys are cute, soft, and my puppy enjoyed playing with them right away. They are great for gentle chewing, carrying around, and interactive play, especially for younger or less aggressive puppies. However, if your dog is very active or a strong chewer, these toys don’t last very long. In our case, they started to tear fairly quickly with regular play. They’re definitely not indestructible and won’t hold up well for high-energy dogs who like to chew hard. Overall, I’d say these toys are fine for the price and okay for casual use, but they’re better suited for calmer puppies rather than very active ones. If your puppy loves intense chewing, you may need something more durable.
