I have a 1937 Thor (Sea King ) 2.4hp. The lower unit was seized. I removed lower and got the prop shaft un stuck. I seen a post from years ago where Mumbles sourced some sort of seal for his. Does anybody have any thoughts on a replacement seal of some sort? This will only be ran rarely, then drained to let all the water out. Thanks for any input. Brian.
Wow, that’s going back a few years!
I spent way too much time on that motor and still haven’t had it running yet. The rotted out gas tank needs some love as does the mag. It has new bushings on the crank and in the gearcase along with a new shafts, water pump cam and follower, along with other parts. Guess it should go back on the ‘To Do’ list.
I did find SKF seals for my Evinrude Sportsman and Sportwin motors but I think I used whatever I had on hand for the Thor (Seaking) and made an aluminum adapter for the prop shaft seal. Can’t say for sure but I think I bored out the driveshaft bushing I made to take a lip seal. No notes or part numbers on hand. Sorry about that.
