JOHNSON BOMBADIER LOWER UNIT SEALS

[jon hoffelt]

WOULD ANYONE KNOW IF THE LOWER UNIT SEAL SPRINGS, WHICH YOU WOULD THINK SHOULD BE STAINLESS, WOULD BE MAGNETIC. IAM CONCERNED BECAUSE BOTH IMPUT AND PROPELLER SHAFT SEALS FACING SALT WATER WERE MISSING WHEN I WENT TO DISSAMBLE MY FRIENDS 90 HP LOWER UNIT. AS IT HAD MORE WATER THAN OIL IN IT, I WOULD LIKE TO AVOID ANOTHER FAILURE. WE HAVE KNOW INFO ON WHO DID THE ASSEMBLY WHEN HE PURCHASED THE MOTOR. THE NEW SEALS ARE OEM AND BOTH SETS SPRINGS ARE MAGNETIC. ANY INFO WOULD BE WELCOME THANKS

Hey gem.....please post in the lower case lettering. All caps make it hard to read.<br /><br />Usually, the metal used in seals are not a true stainless but an alloy stainless....which is magnetic. Check out a stainless prop sometime with a magnet.

Also depends on the year and HP, some of the seals were changed to a one piece seal.
