I bent the propshaft on a dang stump today, and it also took out the bearing carrier rear seals. Can you give me prices on a new shaft, and those 2 seals? (mod# E150GLEVC ser# G 04306801) Also, am I gonna need any special tools to replace it? I work at a merc/yammie dealer, so we dont have any OMC tools.
I appreciate the help!
Jason,
Not Rusty but here you go:
Prop shaft 5004765 approx $270.00
front bearing 0382497 approx $20.00
Rear bearing 0436752 approx $9.00
Seal 0341281 approx $12.00
Oring x2 0305123 approx $1.80 ea.
Make sure if you haven't whack the gear your shop should be able to tell.
Have fun.
BTW it is a GLEUC not GLEVC. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif . CM http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/pimp2.gif
A quick guess would say you're in for about $400 to $450 in parts and you're dealer's labor added to that.
Here's a quick list with your <U>bare</U> minimum parts to fix it...
5004765 Propshaft $306.00
5006373 Seal Kit $77.00
0314730 Pinion Nut $9.00
Two more things that may turn up although no one knows until the gearcase is apart on the table...
0320961 exhaust tuner seal $10.00
5001593 Impeller (while it's off, why not?) $34.00
Add a gearlube fill and labor and you're ready to go.

He said he works at a Yammie dealer.
He works at Yammie dealer, but his personal preferences are right with the motor!
Actually he said: <<I work at a merc/yammie dealer, <U>so we dont have any OMC tools</U>.>>
So I suggest he trade a favors to a local OMC dealer with the tools for the job or let them install the propshaft and reseal it for him.

Just claim it on your insurance & you will have a shinny new lower unit for about $250 or less.
Geez for another $20 he can get a complete H20 kit http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif . I'm sure that the locals at his shop have connections to make it right.
By the way, there is no shimming fixture for the prop shaft. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
You only shim the pinion depth on the drive shaft in a standard rotation John/Rude gear case.
Jason,get your dealer to tear it down,take shaft to machine shop & get straighten out if possible & get dealer to put back together.If shaft not bent to bad,you can save a lot of money.I have done it several times over the years & no problems. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif
Thanks for all the help yall. My buddy (the other tech at the shop) says he has a buddy that used to work on rudes that might have the brg. carrier tool and the pinion nut tool, so we're gonna try to get er done. I didn't think you had to shim the propshaft on this motor, in school we had to use a shimming tool for the driveshaft, but that was it, thanks for clearin that up Rusty. Thanks for the parts prices CM, and I thought the Yammerhammers were the expensive ones haha! Do you really think I need the bearings too? The lube was a little milky but no metal, and I caught it right away.
This really sucks I got a big tourney on the 10th...oh well, I guess chit happens.
Why cheap out for $30 or so bucks? Do it once and do it right. CM
Good point CM. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif
Have the gears checked out good also. Learned the hard way. Gears failed after about 50 hours and took out every thing in the case. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mad.gif Just my .02
