The secret. Coat the inner flat mating surface on carrier (the end towards the o-ring) with Permatex #3 aviation sealant. Old housings are so beat up, those o-rings need extra help.
@1philliph same thing. Stuff sticks to EVERYTHING and nothing gets it off. One bottle is like a lifetime supply. To think they used to use the stuff instead of head gaskets.
Do not do this. if you glue the barring carrier in it wont ever come out again. And the silicone isent sealing anything where he put it. Remember to lube your o-rings and always use new ones when servicing parts. (They are very cheap)
Here's to Momma getting better real fast and to the Boat Motor being fixed for good! :-)

There should be three little ball bearings on the end of that plunger that you took out that shifts it

Thanks for posting this video.
Good job! While you have it out replace Everything!
why seal the outer bearing carrier to the case... it's wide open. seal the inside carrier.. the one you greased...
Do you have the part number for the nylon gearcase retaining nut?
I sure dont, I sold that boat not long ago and gave the owner all the information I had on it. Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing.
Do you have a part number or numbers for the seal kit u used
I sure dont, I sold that boat and gave the new owner all the paperwork and numbers. Sorry.
I really hate mentioning eBay but did you check there for a lift it might be a bit cheaper
