Seal Kit contents?

[scottcooper]

Can anyone tell me what item numbers 51 and 57 would include from this diagram? I'm completely re-building my gear housing but don't know what seals are included in the kits and what I need to order seperately. Item 57 states that it "includes all items with double asterisks" yet I don't see any asterisks.

Thanks much.

Re: Seal Kit contents?

Welcome to iboats.

the asterisks refer to a parts chart provided by Mercury, boats.net apparently dropped part of the chart.

Part 51 is only the seal between the water pump and the water tube that goes to the powerhead. I don't know why they call it a kit. Mercury doesn't call it a kit on their site.

Part 57 includes all the lower unit seals, including:

#'s 5, 15, 17, 28, 30, 41, 42, and 46.

Thanks much.

I'd like to add that I picked up this motor about 2 weeks ago and have found a wealth of info in this forum as I go through it to get it working right. It's always good when you have knowledgeable people to turn to for info and advice...and the search function works great too.
