    Lower Crankshaft Seal Orientation

    225 Pro XS 1B432557

    Which direction do the seals face in the lower end cap assembly? The picture in the manual has me confused, as it seems to show the sealing lips at the top (spring side up), but the manual states seals facing down? Mine are currently installed with the spring side down, which is what I would assume would be the correct orientation, but maybe I am a little slow.

    Thanks.
