A 64 is a Homelite. Bearcat was the name for the same motor after Fisher Pierce (Boston Whaler's parent company) bought the motor from Homelite- around 1966 if I remember correctly. <br /><br />I haven't had to do that yet, but I think the prop shaft seal isn't all that difficult. I'll have to try to track down my manual. Have your parts yet? Either of the two parts dealers here in Ca. would be happy to offer advice when you buy a seal from them.
