oil seal cover in lower unit 2002 F115

[Pas Bon F115]

anybody know anything about how this thing is supposed to function or be installed? Does it just rest on top or is it glued down with sealant or something???

its actually trapped between the wear plate and the bearing housing.
no sealant.

Get the dolphins to sort it I hear they are good with engines!! They try to tell you this by swimming near your bow but us silly humans never take the signs

Thanks Rod!

I was changing the wearplate and the wide section of the rubber seal was pealing up a bit and when I messed with it it just kinda popped out. I went ahead and ordered a new one. maybe not needed but for $10 it was peace of mind.

Also broke a grease zerk. Are they just standard pick em up at the hardware store size?

I was able to get them at an auto parts store (metric thread). Bring you broken base down there to match up...

Got em at O'Reilly's bought an assortment pack for about $4. The other packs were like $8 for a pack 8 or so. I only needed one and got lucky that there were a couple in there that fit!


Thanks for all the comments and help!!

Excellent!

I got mine at Auto Zone (as I re-call). Drilled and tapped boat lift bolts, making them greasable with a grease gun vs pulling apart manually....

as long as your not in the salt pond auto crap may work.
