ALERT! I just saw someone ordered a Seal Kit from Amazon. It is sold as SeaSierra, out of Taiwan. This is not Sierra that we're all used to. Please be sure what you order. This may be a fine seal kit, just realize what you're ordering.
Thank you so very much for doing this video
Hope it helped. Let us know how you made out.
Does the prop shaft pull out easily? Was wondering because I have a bent shaft that I need to have straightened out.
Came here looking for the same information. I have to do mine this week. Please pass along anything you find!
Yes once you take out the carrier it pulls right out.
Great video, thanks. I was wondering where you found the instructions to do this and the OEM specs for that form a gasket sealant etc….
I am struggling to get that shim into the first part of the carrier. There is no way to get the bolt and shim in together, correct. It appears you have to lay the shim flat to get it in then flip it to get the correct orientation?
I have siliconed the bolt onto the socket it is setting up now I’m hoping that will hold long enough to get the threads started. I don’t have one of those finger grabbers, I may need to purchase that.
Also just a note for others I used a 1-1/4” galvanized pipe 6” long and put a cap on the end, that seal fit in perfectly I just ground off the sharp edge on the end. I also used a 3” abs pipe and made the tool to remove the carrier I put a clean out adapter and added the screw cap with the square nut on the end so that I could use a crescent wrench to tighten it. It worked great.
Any help with my questions would be appreciated Chris.
Thanks again for posting this.
Hey Allen, I like your comment about the pipe for inserting the seal!!! I got the idea from the permatex from a website forum. Can't remember where at this time but a highly respected person that did this for a living said in school that is what they used. Always put sealant on the seal. Myself I didn't agree but the more I read, I did it anyway. Don't know if this helped or not but so far (knock on wood), no contamination in the gear lube. Yes! I agree that bolt and shim stock is a bear! Patience was my key. Those 3 finger grab tools are great to have around. There is a volvo tool for doing this as shown in the manual download. I improvised as you are. Just take your time and please let us know how you made out. My carrier was really in tight and have seen damage others did with galvanized pipe. If you were able to do it with ABS, that is great! Seems like you put a lot of thought into it. Keep us updated please and best of luck! Patience, flashlight and afterwards, a couple beers!
Thanks for the quick reply, as luck would have it I failed the pressure test, the shop that worked on my boat last year broke the carrier housing and tried to repair it with JB weld and didn’t tell me. They did a horrible job and it didn’t hold. Looks like my shaft bearing is showing wear on it also so I am giving up and taking the boat to a different shop. Likes like my boating season will be shortened by 3-4 weeks. I will keep an eye out for more of your videos I appreciate how through you are In Your repairs.
@@allancote3952 Crap so sorry to hear! That is why I try to do stuff myself as even some of the 'so called professionals' are not that. I once had a Volvo 280 repaired at a shop. The next person who got into it said there were teeth missing on the gears and no shavings in the oil. Again, sorry to hear. 3 to 4 weeks aint nuthing. Grass needs cutting, ants need to be gone, etc. Family time. Keep your chin up and make it through the grind. I chalk it up as a 'test' to see your patience. Best of luck, stay in touch!
