GASKET,DRIVE SHAFT HOUSING, Suzuki,
For Outboard: Suzuki DT9.9A, Suzuki DT15A, Suzuki DT15, Suzuki DT9.9
Functions:
1. Sealing the Driveshaft Housing: The primary function of the driveshaft housing gasket is to seal the interface between the driveshaft housing and the lower unit, preventing water and contaminants from entering the housing and protecting the internal components. |
2. Preventing Lubricant Leaks: The gasket also prevents the loss of lubricant that is used in the driveshaft housing. A leak in the gasket could result in the loss of oil or grease, which could lead to excessive wear or damage to the drivetrain components. |
3. Protecting Internal Components: By sealing out water, debris, and contaminants, the gasket helps protect sensitive components like bearings, seals, and the driveshaft itself from damage caused by water intrusion or contamination. |
4. Maintaining Pressure: The gasket helps maintain the correct pressure within the driveshaft housing. A compromised seal could lead to a loss of pressure, which may affect the performance of the drivetrain and cause operational issues, such as gear slipping or excessive wear. |
5. Supporting Drivetrain Performance: A well-functioning gasket helps ensure that the drivetrain operates smoothly, contributing to the overall efficiency of the outboard motor. It allows for the correct alignment and function of the driveshaft and associated components, which is essential for the motor's performance. |
Maintenance Tips:
1. Regular Inspection: Inspect the gasket periodically for signs of wear, cracking, or deformation, especially if you're performing maintenance on the lower unit or driveshaft. Regular inspection will allow you to catch small issues before they lead to larger problems. |
2. Check for Leaks: After servicing or reassembling the driveshaft housing, run the engine and check for any signs of water or lubricant leaks around the gasket. Leaks can indicate that the gasket is damaged or not seated properly. |
3. Replace When Necessary: If the gasket is cracked, dried out, or shows signs of wear, replace it promptly. A compromised gasket can lead to water contamination of the drivetrain, leading to corrosion or damage to internal components. |
4. Clean Mating Surfaces: Before installing a new gasket, clean the mating surfaces of the driveshaft housing and lower unit thoroughly. Any debris, old gasket material, or contaminants could prevent the new gasket from sealing properly, leading to leaks. |
5. Use Proper Torque: When reattaching the driveshaft housing, make sure that the bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Over-tightening can crush the gasket, while under-tightening can lead to an incomplete seal and potential leaks. |
6. Check Lubricant Levels: After replacing the gasket, ensure that the lubricant levels in the lower unit are correct. Check for leaks around the housing and make sure that the driveshaft housing is adequately lubricated to prevent wear. |
Common Signs of Wear or Failure:
1. Water or Oil Leaks: If you notice water or lubricant leaking around the driveshaft housing area, this is a clear indication that the gasket is damaged or has worn out. Leaks can cause water to enter the drivetrain, leading to rust, corrosion, or improper lubrication. |
2. Corrosion Around the Housing: Rust or corrosion around the driveshaft housing can be a sign that the gasket is no longer functioning properly, allowing water to seep into the lower unit. Corrosion can damage the housing, bearings, and seals, leading to expensive repairs. |
3. Overheating or Excessive Wear on the Drivetrain: If the gasket is not sealing correctly, the loss of lubrication or contamination from water can lead to excessive friction or heat in the drivetrain components, causing them to wear out prematurely. |
4. Unusual Noises from the Lower Unit: If the drivetrain is not properly lubricated due to a gasket failure, you may notice unusual noises coming from the lower unit or driveshaft area. These noises may be caused by inadequate lubrication or water intrusion. |
5. Slipping Gears or Difficulty in Shifting: A compromised gasket may result in improper lubrication or cooling of the lower unit components, potentially leading to slipping gears, difficulty in shifting, or erratic performance. |
6. Visible Damage or Cracks on the Gasket: During inspections, look for signs of visible damage, such as cracks, splits, or compression marks. If the gasket shows any signs of wear or damage, replace it immediately to prevent further issues. |
