Hi Kent, I have a Mango that has a different type of designed thruster to the SM. I am currently rebuilding it. My question is? Has there been any information in regard to leaving all the seals in the bearings and just letting the gears in the drive be lubricated by the oil. When I removed the bearings they had all the seals removed but they had also seized. Thanks for your help Kind Regards Peter Gradiva Mango Raymond Island Australia -- Peter Buckley 83 Twelfth Avenue Raymond Island VIC 3880 Phone: 0428 427 786 Email: carhartt@...

I guess that I should update the instructions in the files section. Bill Rouse On Aug 31, 2015 1:54 PM, "'Mark Erdos' mcerdos@... [amelyachtowners]" <amelyachtowners@...> wrote:
