so I'm doing my first ever outboard water pump and there are 4 extra parts in the box, two yellow washer type gaskets and two small o-rings, I didn't take any of these off of the original, I don't really see them in the microfiche parts explosion, I'm assuming they are for a different model since the pump kit fits a wide array of engines. mine is an 86 50hp three cylinder. on the same topic the microfiche shows two seals going into the upper housing where the outlet line comes in from the powerhead. they are not in the kit it seems any ideas?

the yellow washers are seals for the lower unit vent and drains screws for the the oil and the small orings are shift shaft seals

It has to be a Merc kit if it has the yellow seals and the small o rings are for use on a stern-drive to seal housing oil passage, Mercurys use an seal not a o ring on shift shafts...
