The good news is you have new seals on the shaft. I’ve never done it myself, but understand it’s a pretty simple process of:
- Remove the four screws on the black face plate.
- Pull the old seal back and cut it out.
- Slide new seal down the shaft and into place.
- Reinstall face plate.
You can even do this with the boat still in the water. My understanding is it doesn’t become more challenging until you use your last seal. Then the coupling has to be undone to install more (or just replace everything at that point.
