Great video, it really helped me out, much appreciated! I don’t think the link to the seal is correct. I believe it is part #26-861694, not part number 26-861695. I ordered the on you posted and it was the wrong size. Again, thank you for making this video.
OH MAN!!! You're totally right. I am so sorry, I ordered seals and was thinking of doing the inner and outer seals, and put a link to the inner seal. Thanks so much for pointing that out, I have corrected it now.

Maybe. The tools cost a few hundred bucks, plus a seal, probably some beer and an afternoon in the driveway teaching the neighbors some new swear words, or a dealer would most likely charge in the 500-750 realm, whether it's worth the extra cash to know it was done by a professional, or at least you have someone to blame if it was done wrong might make that extra worthwhile.
I've got a 6 inch vise, It worked great, I have a smaller 4.5 inch as well and I think it would be just a hair too small in terms that the jaws may not open far enough, but it might be perfectly fine. I'd aim for around 5 or 6 inch jaw. You might be able do this without a vise at all, but iy would make for some crafty engineering to support stuff to drive the old seal out, it sure made it a breeze having a nice vise to hold everything to remove and reinstall the seal.
I've been very happy with SEI products, but you could buy an OEM seal if you would prefer, like this quicksilver one: ebay.us/z6asx5 Or just find somewhere that sells this part number: 26-861694
@@trythistv thanks in purchased everything from the video - very helpful. Dealership wanted like $700 to do this. I’m gonna do mine next week on my own. I have always done all the maintenance and the Boat is 17 years old and never had any issues surprised it took this long to leak.
Hi , I was wondering if you can help , I have a Bravo3 out drive myself and my mercury repair shop suggested me to replace the prop seal with a different part number 26-8M0033407 Is it the same part you replaced or different one ? Thanks
So from the looks of things, that seal is used on the Zeus pod drives and the Bravo X drives, I'm unsure of the compatibility but it is possible that it is a better seal. Next time I have a B3 apart, I'll pick up one of those seals and check if it fits, that may be a bit though, season is just getting started up this year!
You and me both! I know a lot of the Bravo X drive parts are considered an upgrade, but I'm not sure which ones are a direct swap and which ones would require other supporting parts to be changed. I'm very curious and also very confused.

Great video but after buying on the tools, does it just make sense to get a dealer to do it?
Maybe. The tools cost a few hundred bucks, plus a seal, probably some beer and an afternoon in the driveway teaching the neighbors some new swear words, or a dealer would most likely charge in the 500-750 realm, whether it's worth the extra cash to know it was done by a professional, or at least you have someone to blame if it was done wrong might make that extra worthwhile.
Thank you my friend so much for your adviece .... it is very helpfull ....
Glad it was helpful to you!
Hey love the video! What’s the size of the vise I need to have to complete the job? Thanks !
I've got a 6 inch vise, It worked great, I have a smaller 4.5 inch as well and I think it would be just a hair too small in terms that the jaws may not open far enough, but it might be perfectly fine. I'd aim for around 5 or 6 inch jaw.

Question is that seal you purchased off Amazon somewhere to what you would get from a dealership? Would hate to put a Chinese knock off on.

Will you be doing a video on replacing the inner seal?
If one comes into the shop that needs an inner seal, I will be making a video, but I don't specifically have it scheduled or planned anytime soon
Hello I have already bravo 3. Leaks like crazy after it sits a few days. What's best way to tell if it's outer or inner seal. Or can u even tell?
Pull the props off, and clean up as much oil as you can and see where it starts seeping and getting wet first when left overnight or for a couple days
@@trythistv great thank u!
Ever done an inner prop shaft seal?
Yes, but I did not film it, I can tell you it's not as easy as just the outer shaft seal.
