SureSeal™ System
Shaft Seal Installation Instructions
Examine area carefully. Be sure it is free of pitting, nicks or surface imperfections which could cause
leaking. Clean area thoroughly. Polish the shaft using 300 grit wet/dry sandpaper or emery cloth,
working around the shaft. Fore and aft actions could put flats or grooves in the shaft. The assembly
may be shifted forward on the shaft by adjusting the position of the hose on the stern tube at time
of installation.
Remove shaft from transmission coupling. Disassemble and remove existing shaft sealing system.
DO NOT RE-USE THESE COMPONENTS WITH THE SureSeal™.
Position assembly (as shown) next to stern tube to determine approximately where the lip seal will
ride on the shaft.
Draw the shaft back up against the coupling. This will expose that portion of the shaft that was located under the old hose
and shaft seal system.
Place two hose clamps over each end of the articulating hose. Insert the SureSeal™ into the hose
as far as it will go. Tighten hose clamps around the SureSeal™.
Carefully press the red installation hat into the front of the SureSeal™. Make certain it covers the
“lip” portion of the seal.
Back the shaft away from the coupling to provide enough room to install the assembly.
