On the sportsmaster the driveshaft is steel for added strength. There are two seals on the bottom section of the water pump housing that keep the water from mixing with the LU gear oil. This is the area that matters because the seal needs a good smooth surface, rust will cut the seals all up. The speedi-sleeve is real thin and when installed gives the area a new stainless surface for the seal lips to ride on. My question is how to install the sleeve without pounding too much on the LU bearings. msharp, care to clue us in? If I'm having to tear the LU down I think I'd just get the stainless shaft Lee at Sanderson Marine can supply or send it out and have it spray welded.I was looking at the part number. What exactly does this do? Does it install below the key way on the shaft into the water pump so the shaft isnt spinning on the medal gasket in the water pump? thanks
Great question. It's suppose to hit 0* out here tonight. Warm the sleeve to 350 in the oven and it may fall right on.Can you heat them to ease installation?

I have heard of putting 2 seals (insead of 1) under entire housing to raise it and seal location. Never done it but makes sense.
