    Thanks to all for the quick answers. Went to my local Canada Bearings and showed him the seal. The last install was a Chicago Rawhide seal which they carry. Also Timken and SKF. At least it gets the motor back onto the water.
    These seals do come with a magic synthetic coating to protect them but Crosbyman (again) is correct. The company also suggested coating the exterior end with epoxy or Teflon or some sticky protector. The seal I took out was a CR seal and showed no signs of rust at least from the outside. And, anybody with extra parts lying around could just look for a later model and use that bearing housing with 1 1/8 common seal as frankr confirmed.
    Brilliant. Thanks again.
    BTW A seal is $14.00 CDN including shipping.
