    Bearing gone bad

    Had my bearing / seals go bad on my ski today. Almost drown my ski in the middle of the lake! Thank God I installed the bilge pump 2 weeks ago. Anywho, I need a new one fast. Where can I score one? Do they come as an assembly, or do I have to put one together?

    Havn't removed the DS yet to determine grooves. I am assuming the seals are bad. It is leaking after all. I also figured, If you replace part of it, you might as well replace it all.

    Try John Zigler for a used one, but that may take time.

    Ebay, or post a WTB.

    Page 167 of which manual?
    Have you downloaded the 1992-1998 Service Manual?

    Are you sure it is the through hull bearing/seal assembly (item 9) that is leaking, and NOT the plastic through hull fitting (item 12) behind it?
    Page 6.35 in the 1992-1998 Service Manual.



    There have been a few of these that have come loose, and leak water into the hull.

    Yup, coming out the front of the bearing assy.

    Thanks to Randy, I should have a brand new one installed for a weekend of riding.
