Q: How do I confirm this seal kit fits my Johnson/Evinrude engine?
A: This kit is specifically for 85-125 HP models from 1971-1972 with a large prop shaft. The best way to confirm fitment is to cross-reference your original part number with the ones listed, such as Sierra 18-2691, GLM 87611, or Mallory 9-74114.
