So it looks like I will be replacing the Tides Marine shaft seal on the 310. I do have a spare seal on both shafts. (Port/Starboard)
Question is, has anyone ever successfully completed this job and if so, what all did you remove to gain access to them? Looks to me like removing both exhaust manifolds ( RH on Port and LH on Starboard Engine) will give you some room but not 100% sure.
I did call Tides Marine and they suggested I wrap a piece of crocus cloth around the shaft and try and slide it under the seal lip as debris can get caught in there and make them leak.
