  7. Install the new seals and O-rings into their respective locations. Ensure seals are seated correctly and facing the proper direction to prevent leaks.
  8. Reinstall the bearing carrier and water pump assembly, using the new gaskets provided in the kit.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
This kit is specifically for MerCruiser Alpha One Gen 2 sterndrives manufactured from 1991 to the present. The most important check is your serial number; it must be 0D469859 or later. Do not use this kit if your drive is a Gen 1 or has a lower serial number.

What are the signs my gearcase seals are failing?
The most common sign is milky, light-colored gear lube, which indicates water has mixed with the oil. You may also notice gear oil leaking from the propeller shaft area or from the drain screw seals.

How often should I replace the lower unit seals?
It is recommended to inspect your gear lube for water after every season. Seals should be replaced as part of regular maintenance every few years, or immediately if you detect a leak or water intrusion. Many technicians replace the water pump impeller and lower unit seals at the same time.

Decent material, more of a sporty outfit than a tracksuit
I got the XXl which is what I get in Adidas when they’re cut slim. This is not cut slim. I like the looser fit, but it’s not like a tracksuit top at all, it’s like a shirt. The bottom is a plain hem. It’s way too wide for me like this. It needs a drawstring in it or an elastic waist. The material is slick and has a clean finish. The pants are the same as the top, it’s not fuzzy inside, it doesn’t have the same static cling fuzzy polyester gets. It’s thicker than I expected, more like track pants than gym shorts. I need to put some elastic thru the bottom hem so it fits better.

Nice, Soft and Comfortable Tracksuit
First thing my son said when he put it on and the quarter zip was down was that he felt like Paulie Walnuts off The Sopranos. It cracked me the heck up. With the collar that kind of butterflies out, but still stylish. This is a nice and quality tracksuit. It is made of soft polyester and the spandex makes it stretchy. It fits true to size. It fits loosely so you have some room to move around. I got this for my son as he had no athletic type clothes to wear when it gets cold. It is kind of a good thing that the material is not heavy, but it generates heat and is perfect for colder weather. you can't wear it when it is in the mid-70's or so unless you are just a cold natured person. Wearing a T-Shirt under it is great. The tracksuit is perfect to wear to sporting events, a sports bar or shopping on a spring or fall day. The pants fit well and are the proper length. My son is 6' and a buck sixty-five. Fits him like a glove and it still would if he were heavier. The elastic waist is nice and the cords are not uncomfortable like some can be. I recommend this product.
