Thank you so much. I was hesitant to use drummel but after your video it took me 5 minutes to cut it. Great video

Hey Michael, please help…I have an alpha one gen 2. I have gear oil leaking back into boat. The hose from the monitor tank to the drive is not leaking. It’s entering the drive and leaking under engine right above the plug hole. There doesn’t appear to be any oil one the outside of the drive. No drops on the ground. Do you have any experience with this type of leak and how to diagnose it. From my research It sounds like the carrier seal on the upper ujoint yoke has failed. Do you agree? I know I’ll need to pull the drive. Have you ever had to replace that carrier seal on the upper ujoint? Do you have a video that I missed? Do you know what parts(#’s)I will need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for watching Fernando & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. That’s exactly our thought. When the U-joint/upper unit shaft seal fails, gear oil can begin pouring into aft hull. Below is a link to our video showing us disassembling our bearing & seal from the shaft. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5-2i613etCAY5I At about the (3:30) time, you will see us pull off old oil seal. 😎👍

Do you happen to know the part number to that seal?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

@@Spsnando22 Thanks for the reply Fernando. On the outdrive itself, you will find a serial number placard. Let us know what the serial number is to your outdrive & we can get you the exact replacement part number for your exact outdrive. 😎👍
