Since i stored my motor last fall it has been leaking through the propshaft seals. Both where shot so i already pulled them out and bought new ones. The two seals that came out where both facing inwards, the rubber part facing towards the gears. Is that the correct way to position them ore should the outer seal face the waterside? So that both seals are mirrored. I don't have a workshopmanual so i tried to find an anser here on the forum but couldn't find it.

They are mounted " back to back " ---so yes one spring faces oil and the outer faces the water.
