- HOW TO CHANGE LOWER UNIT SEALS Using DRYWALL Screws!!! Full Step By Step Prop Shaft Seal Replacement
So once again I had water in my Yamaha F350 Lower Unit. So instead of taking it to someone I decided to buy the tools and do it myself. I also used some tricks of the trade that I am sure you will like! Hope everyone likes the video and please leave a comment!!!
Here is the link to the pressure tester I used.

Bro, this is the most realistic boating and fishing channel in existence.
Thanks man! Tryin to keep it real!
This is an excellant video. I can tackle this project now.
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
Very well done, clear and concise. Subscribed.
Thanks and welcome to the channel! Tight lines!
Thanks Bill! Nice video and tips! Tight lines!
Thanks 🙏
Great Video!
🙏 thank you!
tried the screw method, it cracked the housing around the seals. Yay!
What kind of screws did you use? How deep did you drill them in? Crazy never in 20 years have I had anything happen like that
@@JackedUpFishing How much clearance from the back seal to the bearing?
Thank you
Good job❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video
🙏 thank you
Great tutorial video
🙏 thank you
Dang, Bill, you clamped that stand to your welding table, but you didn't build it using your welding table.
Looks like a pretty simple design with square tube, round tube, and some other goodies.
Nice tutorial, hope the prop swap fixes the seal issues!
😂I know but for 130 bucks it wasn't worth the time and effort ya know! Thanks for watching!
@@JackedUpFishing I wrestle with that a bunch. I know I can make it, but if it is cheap enough, the time is better spent elsewhere.
@@phatbastard for sure! Don't get me wrong though, I bite off more than I can chew more times than I would like.
@@JackedUpFishing indeed, my wife would agree that I am in the same boat...
Great viedo. The prop shaft has a serious runout though.
Runout?
@@JackedUpFishing Yes. Check at 07:10+ minutes in the video when you rotate the shaft. It does not seem straight.
I did not see the link for the pressure testing tool. Can you please post it? Thank you. Great video.
Here is the link to the pressure testing tool that I have! Thanks for watching!

Good video and some great tips
🙏 thanks buddy
great video brother
Thanks 🙏
Cool trick, thanks for sharing! Did you do anything to get all the water out of the lower unit before re-sealing the prop shaft?
No I pretty much got it all out when it drained and whatever trace amounts will evaporate pretty quickly. But to be sure I check my fluid every other trip since I run 100 mile plus one way most trips.
@@JackedUpFishing Got ya, thank you!
@@igotakai5644 no problem
Just bought that pressure tester in your link. Hope that was an affiliate link so you get a kick back from it
It wasn’t. No big deal great product.
Got a question- when stacking the seals- aren’t you supposed to stack the seals with first one-cupped side down to keep fluid in and second one-cupped side out to keep water out????
I thought so too but it states in service manual to put them the same direction.
Great vid! Do you grease the shaft before putting the seals in?
Yes sir
great video and i learned a lot. you never actually posted a link to that pressure tester.
I thought I did. If not I will put in description for you .
Sorry I don't see the link to the bench mounted lower unit support that you are showing. Can you share it?
Sorry just seen this. Here is the link

Good video, do you know if the alpha one MerCruiser would be the same for the prop shaft?
Not sure
My dear friend, the exhaust muffler of the 30 hp evinrude eteceh engine was shattered in the middle. Will it cause any harm? Will the engine start
😂😂😂
Where did you get this foot support....wonderful video :-)
It’s in the video description.thanks for watching
@@JackedUpFishing I'm sorry but I can't find it
@@artphotostefanoestefania1927 here u go. lionparts.com/products/wsm-980-120l-lower-unit-adaptor
@@JackedUpFishing thanks you so much
@@artphotostefanoestefania1927 no problem
Good tips, thanks! Have some fishing rods!... :-)
Thanks for watching! And yeah I might have a problem buying fishing rods. lol
I’m assuming you do drain oil 1st before pressure test ?
Yes
Where you get the stand thxs
Here you go. I am putting it in description as well. Other link got removed I guess. Thanks for watching

What size PVC tailpipe is that?
I think it’s 1.5 in
How are the propshaft seals holding up with the powertech prop? I had mine go on my Yamaha 250 SHO and Yamaha asked what prop I was using... I lied and said Yamaha T2.. but I am using Merc Bravo 1 XS. Can not understand how a prop can burn up propshaft seals?? Thanks!
They are holding up good so far
What was the name of the clue you put around the seals ?
It’s called bellows glue made by Mercury. Awesome stuff
Every how many hours are the seals changed? Thanks
I check the fluid evert 4 trips. My trips average 350 miles round trip. If there is any water contamination at all I replace seals and recheck under pressure
@@JackedUpFishing I have about 600 hours and I see them well, I have not seen a recommendation from Yamaha and no one knows how to tell me how often to change, I change my oil every 40 hours and it works very well, is there no recommendation from Yamaha? Thanks 😃
One thing you didn't show us which way the seals or supposed to turn😮
You can clearly see it in the video I just checked.
almost looks like a slight wobble in your shaft around 7.12 ish
I see what you are saying. I’ll have to check that out on next service. Good eye! Thanks 🙏
I always thought the seals went in with solid side to outside but you put them in opposite..Guess thats why I'm not a mechanic huh
Yeah I thought they went facing each other till I looked it up
Man said it started squirting out of the rear seal. I do the same everytime I eat from taco bell😅💀.
lol
broo it happened to me that I changed the oil in my lower unit and I accidentally put a little pressure while having the top screw on and oil leaked through the shaft seal but then I filled it to its level and cleaned the oil and so far it hasn't leaked not a drop, my question; Will I have problems running it?
Keep checking it. If it has any water in it you need to replace the seals.
@@JackedUpFishing Do you think the prop shaft seals are the most frequently damaged?
@@nossrc5638 yup 💯
15/16 socket, not 5/16
ok??? I do not know what you are referring to but yes I do use 5/16 sockets which is very close to 8mm. I never use a 15/16 on anything in the outboard area
Shaft seems to be bent or at leat not true, that'll cause seal failure.
I have had some people say that. I will actually check it out when I pull again. I think it's an optical illusion though. I just checked the fluid the other day and have put over 1000 miles on her. It was super clean with no water in it. Thank God! Appreciate the comment
@@JackedUpFishing excessive vibration would happen if it was bent, though so maybe it is just an illusion from the camera lens.
