Tides Marine SureSeal Shaft Seal - Lip Seal Change - Stolen from their You-Tube Demo clip which I stole from another thread on this forum. Print this out and put it on your boat.
This should only allow a couple of gallons of water in at most.
1) Ensure shaft is clean between the new seal’s carrier kit and the sure seal, then remove the screws to the new seal’s carrier kit.
2) Remove the five cap screws from the base of the old seal.
3) Slide the cap forward over the replacement seal.
4) Separate the split retaining washer and remove it from the shaft
5) Pry out the old lip seal with a screwdriver working around opposite sides and then cut the old seal off of the shaft.
6) Carefully slide the new lip seal into the opening.
7) Return the split retaining washer to the shaft FORWARD of the new seal.
8) Fit the split retaining washer into the recess in the cap and then slide the pair aft until they touch the lip seal.
9) Align the holes and start the five screws back in.
10) Alternately tighten them to press the lip seal into the opening. They are seated when the cap touches the housing.
