OEM Transom Repair Kit

[kulle]

I purchased an OEM Transom repair kit for my alpha 1 gen 2 out drive. It came with a bunch of O-rings. I know there is one for the water line on the bell housing , but the others....not sure. COuld they be for the Yoke( u joint) ?

the mounting kit has the water inlet O ring, 2 thin rings for the shaft under the gimbal bearing , and 1 larger one for the middle of the input shaft . The thick 1/4 inch ring is glued into the housing , NOT placed in the housing or on the drive.

1 larger one for the middle of the input shaft?? The yoke? thick 1/4" one glued into what housing? I didnt catch a install guide that shows what each O ring is for.

It simply amazes he how people buy parts to fix something but dont know to fix something . You would think you first purchase or inquiry would be a service manual to see how you the thing you want to fix is serviced before you make costly mistakes in dis-assembling , assembling, filling with the correct oil, and destroying what you just thought you had repaired without reading a manual on how to do it correctly

I have the manual and know what I am repairing. I'm sure I can figure where they go, I just figured someone on here has bought the same or similar and knows exactly what goes where. The manual shows where O rings are,yes, but some are thicker, etc. thanks though for sharing the manual. It's just these i was really questioning.."2 thin rings for the shaft under the gimbal bearing , and 1 larger one for the middle of the input shaft"- I know the thick rubber one goes behind the ujoint bellows ring.
