Install the seal squarely and in the correct orientation — take care not to damage the sealing lip during installation.

Mercury diagrams list the water-pump seals separately as 97530 or 89238, depending on application. A common customer mistake is ordering a seal without checking the diagram position first — always have them verify by engine model and serial number, as several seals are serviced in the same area of the 224 I\/L4 front cover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MERC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51324681715748,"sku":"67388","price":52.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/c98803ec-7683-486e-898b-830100223203.png?v=1788219733","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/merc-53","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
