Dear All
I've decided, after reading a post here, that I may be able to replace the transom seal on my 1984 Sea Swirl Sierra Cuddy with a OMC 3.8 liter stern drive.
I have a couple of questions
1) Is a 1984 3.8 Liter sterndrive the same as a 1984 OMC Stringer? The reason I ask is because according to the post you can replace the transom seal without removing the outdrive, just remove the propeller, however,
the intermediate and lower unit(s) seam too large to pass the rubber transom seal. And they definitly won't allow me to remove the metal retainer ring. I'm just wondering if the Stringer is a smaller unit than the model I have, allowing you to remove the seal without removing the lower unit?
2) I found a seal (OMC 909527) on ebay. However the part number on my transom seal is 909527A. Are they the same?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
