Categories: ,
Description
  1. Sealing Function: The primary function of the seal is to create a watertight barrier between the gearcase and exhaust housing of the outboard motor. This prevents water from entering the gearcase and damaging internal components.
  2. Material Composition: The seal is typically made from durable materials such as rubber or synthetic compounds, chosen for their resistance to water, heat, and corrosion. This ensures long-lasting performance in harsh marine environments.
  3. Sealing Mechanism: The seal features a precise design with a sealing lip or edge that fits snugly against the mating surfaces of the gearcase and exhaust housing. This creates a secure seal to prevent water intrusion.
  4. Pressure and Temperature Resistance: Engineered to withstand the pressure and temperature fluctuations encountered during operation, the seal maintains its integrity to ensure reliable sealing performance in varying conditions.
  5. Installation: Proper installation of the seal is essential for effective sealing. It is carefully fitted into a designated groove or housing between the gearcase and exhaust housing, ensuring a tight and secure fit.
  6. Maintenance: Regular inspection of the seal is important to detect signs of wear, damage, or leakage. Any worn-out or damaged seals should be promptly replaced to prevent water ingress and potential damage to the propulsion system.
