Gimbal Housing seal question

[84EdH]

I am getting ready to install my Gimbal Housing (1979 #1 Drive Merc 228). I have the outside seal and just noticed another seal shown in a parts diagram. Merc Part # 41802. Is this a seal to the exhaust pipe Y ? or am I missing something? My Y has a large circular O ring and 2 smaller O rings.

thanks

Ed

Re: Gimbal Housing seal question

what manual and page are you referring to. the transom housing is generally a foam ring seal or a cork gasket seal.

sorry, actual part # 41802. I found it to be an exhaust seal on Bravo. thanks for getting back to me.

Why are you looking at Bravo parts diagrams?

Here is what you should be looking at.

Don, this is a link that shows why I got confused. if you see the heading......it is for all but Bravo drives, so I thought maybe I was missing something. I looked up the part number and it matched a Bravo exhaust seal. 41802

also, my gimbal housing has a groove for a round rubber seal, not the flat cork style shown for my 1979 228 mercruiser in your diagram above.
