Yamaha - Lower Casing Packing - Sealing Gasket - 69G-45315-A0-00

Overview

This is one of those small parts that can cause big problems if it’s not doing its job. The lower casing packing seals up the gearcase area, keeping oil in and water out where it matters most. I’ve seen perfectly good lower units take damage just because a seal like this was worn or reused too many times. When it’s fresh and seated right, you don’t have to worry about what’s happening inside.

Key Features

• Reliable Sealing Performance – Creates a tight seal to prevent water intrusion and oil leakage.
• Precision Yamaha Fitment – Designed to match factory sealing surfaces for proper installation.
• Durable Material Construction – Built to handle pressure, heat, and constant exposure to gear oil.
• Protects Internal Components – Helps maintain proper lubrication and prevents internal damage.

Engine & Boat Compatibility

Compatible with Yamaha outboard engines using lower unit gearcases that require sealing between casing components. Commonly used across a range of Yamaha motors in both recreational and offshore applications.
