Confirm the exact drive model and serial number before ordering. The lower-unit sealing arrangement uses several closely related parts — each position in the seal stack must be matched correctly.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this sealing ring during any lower-unit resealing service, or when you observe:
- Gear-oil leakage from the lower unit
- Water intrusion into the drive
- Seal-lip damage or hardening on inspection
- Propeller-shaft or bearing-carrier service
- Wear discovered during a lower-gear overhaul

Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: This seal is the right choice when you need to replace only the inner shaft seal and have confirmed the rest of the stack is serviceable. For a full lower-unit reseal, the complete kit 23553896 is the more efficient option and ensures all seals in the stack are renewed at the same time.
Common customer questions: Customers sometimes order only this seal when the full stack needs attention. Because the seals in this assembly are stacked in sequence and share the same service access, it is worth inspecting — and replacing — 22876831 and the related O-rings at the same time. Replacing one seal while leaving aged neighbours in place often leads to a repeat service call.
