Installation Guide

  1. Disconnect the spark plug wire and place the outboard in a stable, upright position. Drain all gear oil from the lower unit into an appropriate container.
  2. Remove the propeller, then disconnect the shift linkage at the lower unit. Unbolt and separate the lower unit from the midsection.
  3. Disassemble the lower unit housing to access the drive shaft, propeller shaft, and bearings. Remove old seals carefully to avoid damaging seal surfaces.
  4. Clean all seal surfaces, bearing races, and housing bores thoroughly with a suitable solvent. Inspect for wear, corrosion, or damage; replace bearings if necessary.
  5. Lubricate new seals lightly with gear oil. Install seals using the correct drivers or installation tools, ensuring they are seated squarely and to the proper depth.
  6. Reassemble the lower unit components in reverse order, ensuring all snap rings, washers, and shims are correctly positioned. Apply marine-grade sealant to mating surfaces as specified.
  7. Reattach the lower unit to the midsection and torque all fasteners to manufacturer specifications. Reconnect the shift linkage and verify smooth operation through all gears.
  8. Refill the lower unit with the recommended type and quantity of gear oil. Check for leaks and proper oil level at both fill and vent screws.
  9. Reinstall the propeller and torque the propeller nut to specification. Reconnect the spark plug wire and perform a water test to confirm proper sealing and operation.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this seal kit fits my engine?
A: Cross-reference your outboard's horsepower, model year, and OEM part number with the compatibility table above. If your engine falls within the listed HP ranges (20–35 HP, 2-stroke) and years (1976–2005), this kit should fit. Always compare the seal kit contents with your exploded parts diagram to verify.

Q: How often should I replace the gearcase seals?
A: Replace gearcase seals whenever you notice milky or contaminated gear oil, evidence of water intrusion, or during lower unit overhaul. Many technicians recommend inspecting seals every 2–3 years or 200–300 operating hours, and replacing them proactively during bearing or impeller service.

Q: What are the signs of failing lower unit seals?
A: Common symptoms include milky or frothy gear oil (indicating water intrusion), oil leaking from the lower unit, unusual noise or vibration from the gearcase, or difficulty shifting. Any of these signs warrant immediate inspection and seal replacement.

Q: Can I reuse the old seals if they look okay?
A: No. Seals are designed for single use; removing them typically distorts the sealing lip. Always install new seals during any lower unit service to ensure reliable performance and prevent costly water damage or gear failure.

Q: Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.

Q: How fast do you ship and how much does it cost?
A: We offer fast global shipping—typically 5–15 days worldwide—and standard shipping is free. Expedited options are available at checkout depending on your location.

Q: What is your warranty and return policy?
A: This product includes a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If something goes wrong, contact our support team with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard return window (unused & in original condition); please see our policy page or reach out for instructions.

It brightens before your eyes!
You know how some products need time before you see the difference, this one doesn’t. As soon as you apply it you can visibly see how light your under eye is. The formula is very rich, not too moist it just makes my under eyes look sooo vibrant!

52 with Mature Skin — Hydrating, Smoothing Eye Patches That Actually Make a Visible Difference
Color: Pink (PDRN), Color: Pink (PDRN)
I’m 52, post-menopausal, with drier, more delicate skin around the eyes, and I’ve been using Abib products for years. It’s one of those brands I consistently come back to because the formulas are well-balanced and actually perform without irritating my skin. These patches fit right in with that experience. The texture is one of the first things that stands out. They have a cushiony, jelly-like feel that holds its shape well and adheres comfortably to the skin. Once applied, they stay in place without sliding around, and there’s no stickiness or residue left behind when you remove them — which is not always the case with eye patches. In terms of effectiveness, these go beyond just a temporary cooling effect. With consistent use, I notice my under-eye area looks smoother, more hydrated, and less tired overall. Fine lines look softened, and the skin has a more refined, even appearance. Puffiness is reduced, and the area just looks more awake and supported. Hydration and softness are where these really shine. After using them, the skin feels noticeably softer and more comfortable, not tight or overly treated. There’s a real improvement in how the skin holds moisture, which is especially important for mature skin. That added hydration translates directly into a smoother, more polished look. I also use these beyond just the under-eye area. I’ve been applying them to my nasolabial folds, and they work beautifully there as well. That area tends to show dryness and creasing, and these patches help soften and plump the look of the skin, making everything appear more relaxed and less etched. The finish they leave behind has a subtle glow — not shiny or greasy, but a healthy, hydrated look that makes the skin appear fresher and more even. It’s the kind of glow that comes from improved skin condition, not just surface-level shine. From a value standpoint, the jar contains a generous number of patches, and because they can be used in multiple areas, they feel much more worthwhile than single-use treatments. A little time with these gives visible results, which makes them a good addition to a routine. Overall, these are very well done. They deliver on hydration, softness, and smoothing while remaining gentle and comfortable to use. If you’re dealing with dryness, fine lines, or puffiness — especially with mature skin — these are absolutely worth trying.

Great product
Color: Pink (PDRN)
These eye patches are incredibly hydrating and leave my under eye area looking plumper and refreshed after using. Adhere well without slipping and deliver an immediate cooling, refreshed effect. The formula feels gentle yet effective, and the patches are generously sized and comfortable. I purchased these during a promotional deal and felt they were an excellent value for the quality. A high-quality product that fits seamlessly into a skincare routine.

Gentle Retinal — No Irritation for Me
Color: Pink (PDRN)
I was honestly nervous to try these because they contain retinal, and the under-eye area can be sensitive. But I had zero irritation. No burning, no redness, no peeling. They feel cooling and soothing when applied, and the hydrogel texture stays in place without sliding around. After consistent use, my under-eye area looks smoother and more refreshed. I’ve noticed subtle improvement in fine lines and overall brightness. If you’re curious about trying retinal in a gentle way, this is a great entry point. Just make sure to use sunscreen during the day, as you would with any vitamin A product.

Hydrates well
Color: Pink (PDRN)
So far the product has been nice. My understanding is that eye area looks hydrated. It does not diminish the under eye bags. Have been using for a few weeks. Maybe I’ll give it more time to see better results.
