Transom Seal for Shift Cable Housing

[Horigan]

I'm starting to chase down a minor fresh water leak in my bilge. One area I want to investigate is the seal where the shift cable housing exits to the outdrive. I remember the cable housing feeling a little loose through the transom when I did my annual service last fall. I've scoured the BRP catalog and can't find where this seal exists. My outdrive is an OMC/Volvo joint venture SX, per my signature below. Can someone point me to the part number for the seal? Can this seal be replaced without RnRing the transom mount?

you will need a very narrow wrench. I ground a harbor freight down to fit.

3852537

O-RING, Sleeve & connector

The part number is found in the transom mount section.

#39 in the diagram.....
the reason why it does not jump out at you is because the tube that holds the shift cable is shown as a short stub not the long tube it really is....(part # 75 in the diagram)….
