Just so you realize, Nautique parts and discount inboard marine now are operating under the same roof, parts come out of the same warehouse. i can look into why DIM shipping prices may be different then NP shipping prices. it just may be a glitch in the system. Thank you and for your concerns as well as feedback are greatly appreciated. Jody

The gasket you are requesting info normally comes in gasket kits for rebuild. Being where you are might be a stretch to locate as a singular gasket. i think if it was me i would make a gasket from locally sourced material. also it is a dry application gasket. Cheers.. |

Hi Jody nothing personal, dont get me wrong. but I do notice a difference in shipping prices at NP. So that's why I order there and not at Skidim. Ofcourse I am aware of the lack of service/support provided by ebay. If NP had it in stock, I would most def ordered it there. Already ordered several times there, always with acceptable shipping rates. Maybe next time! |

Hi Ginovv, We have no control over shipping cost as well as we offer only oem or first quality components where Amazon and E-bay the quality is usually cut rate and low service life. Our staff at Nautique parts as well as Discount inboard marine are very knowledgeable and strive to support our customers at the highest level possible. Amazon and E-bay can not do that. Our overseas support and ability is second to none. you have an issue with our parts you can immediately get answers and usually a replacement part will be sent or refund or store credit. Again we are sorry about the cost for such a small item as a seal, we have no control over that aspect of doing business. Thank you. Jody Seal / Senior tech, support/ NP/DIM |

Just one more question
I also removed the oil sump filter from the engine. A friend of mine told me to backwash it to get rid of any slush. Although I didn't have any slush, I did remove it. There is a small diamond shaped gasket, does anyone have number or link for that? Or are these just universal? thanks

Thanks for the link, but like i said they ask outrageous prices for shipping. I guess they dont like international customers.
Normally I always shop at Nautiqueparts, which are also very helpfull. Unfortunately they dont stock these seals. I went to see how much it would cost me at Skidim Seal: 61.40 dollar shipping: 67.98 dollar!! total of 129.38 dollar Where as now, I pay 53.50 euro with shipping. (seal 27,.. + 17 shipping + 9 dollar vat) So it's def worth looking for part numbers etc  |

Thank you so much Keno, once again! Indeed they were the same as the once I linked. And that 17760 seal said it would also fit 351w... so thank you for clearing that out. Thanks again!

I seem to think that Gino is probably not exactly interested in your Skidim link and that's why he posted his questions in the first place

Your links didn't work, but here are a couple of links to EBAY, maybe the same ones you had link to rear main seal for Reverse rotation 351w CS 4592RV link to Reverse rotation front seal FP 17795 Both of those seals will work for you And here's a link to an old thread with some seal discussion and an alternate part number for the front seal SKF CR18562 PS......that 17760 seal that you mentioned fits a Chevy so I think I'd avoid that one.

Good evening all
Our oil pan was leaking and I had to take the engine out of our BFN 1994. This was new to me and everything went pretty well. The oil pan came out easily and I'm sending it to a welder. Decided to replace the damper plate and both of the seals while I'm at it. the question is that I can't seem to find the correct seal. On summit they dont have any reverse rotation rear seals, I emailed them and they said it doesn't matter left or right. Watching several youtube videos and reading on fora tells me there is indeed a difference. I also know that I have a 1-piece seal (1983-2001) and not a 2 piece seal. I read this somewhere on this forum. I have found 2 items on ebay and I want to know if these are the right ones (ones on skidim are overpriced and they charge a ridiculous amount of shipping) Rear main seal 351 RR: https://www.ebay.com/itm/253586318294?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=IahST1XyTXC&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=1q6i6drdtzy&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY edit: seems the one i posted earlier wasn't for reverse rotation. this one from Summit is RR. Could you guys be so kind to confirm I have the right one? I could also need some advice in replacing them, so if you guys have any tips, let me know! Thanks in advance Keeping this old boat running  Gino van Vroonhoven Belgium, Europe
