Driveshaft spline seal retainer

[ferencg]

Hello, Could somebody tell me which direction the driveshaft spline seal retainer should go on the driveshaft? Is it as in the attached picture or upside down? I _think_ the seal is shown in the correct direction in the picture, but tell me if I'm wrong? This is on a Force 1990 90HP.
Btw, as I was perusing the forums. How can you tell what sort of drive you have?
Thanks, Ferenc

That's good like that.

Relevant to the picture. Where on the drive shaft is the retainer located(distance from the splines) to allow sufficient room for the drive shaft boot on a 1990 Force 507F90D?
