Yamaha - Lower Casing Packing - Lower Unit Seal Component - 69M-G5315-A0-00

Overview

Seals in the lower unit are one of those things you don’t see until they fail—and when they do, it usually means water getting where it shouldn’t. This packing helps keep everything sealed tight between the casing surfaces so your gear oil stays clean and protected. When it’s fresh and installed right, you don’t think about it at all. But once it wears out, it can lead to bigger problems inside the lower unit fast.
