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 product
I have been using Metamucil for a long time! I can tell a difference in using the plain and the vitamin variety. I feel a more energetic. I will not use this variety close to bedtime. It does fizz a lot. Only add a small amount of water to the glass and after the fizz settles down add more water. Great product!

The best no sugar natural fiber
Even if you have no problems with your dietary system, fiber is an excellent way to protect your lower GI system. I use the no sugar version as I want the fiber, but I want the extra carbs in the regular version. Regular no sugar is fine, and has no problems with taste. Every so often, I treat myself to this better stevia sweetened version. I don’t take either one 3 times a day, as recommended, but I do take it every morning. If you like the regular sugar free version, give this a try. Since I take it every day, I do like occasionally switching to the better version. Read the labels of your fiber supplement products, if you take them. Very few give you the amount of fiber that this does, and you control exactly how much fiber you want. If you read up on the benefits of adding to your daily fiber intake, you will wonder why you haven’t been adding this to your daily healthy supplements This is a very effective way to protect yourself, and most other products don’t come close!

Great product for bloat and regularity
This works! I try to take a big tablespoon in the morning and if Im feeling bloated maybe one at night. Within a day or two, it helps you get regular! And it makes you go..and not loose, runny stool either. It leaves with that “empty stomach” feeling. I have this set up on auto delivery. Its a bit expensive but like that it has stevia, so am willing to pay the extra. It tastes like OJ but drink it asap or it becomes thick and slime like within a few minutes.

More expensive and not as sweet as regular Metamucil, but no aspartame
I switched to the Stevia variant of Metamucil to cut down my daily intake of aspartame sweetener. The taste definitely isn’t as sweet and invariably some might not like that. I thought the same initially, but after a few dosages of the less-sweet Stevia Meta I’m now use to the taste. For me—less aspartame in my diet is more important than having an overly sweet product. The product functions the same way and is very effective in keeping you regular and the additional fiber in your diet is very important. Try it, but keep in mind it may take some time getting use to the less sweet flavor.

Incredible…
This stuff is incredible. I used to take a psyllium supplement semi regularly but would always stop after a week or so of getting tired of it. This stevia version of Metamucil is better than any fiber I’ve ever taken. Tastes great, dissolves immediately, works incredibly well, and doesn’t get old or repetitive like other versions. Flavorful but not overly sweet. It’s amazing what it does to your poops too. Unbelievable.
