65161 maintenance

I noticed the same issue with my parts that came yesterday. rightly or wrongly I used the new shaft leal but used the old stationary ring. I also used the old rubber seal as I ordered the 44 mm x 3mm as there no 45mm but they were too thick. I’ll re order the right parts and fit them at some point.

It was bloody lovely though to have a nice quiet motor running, forgot how quite they are…

Hello everyoneAfter three years of operation, noise also appeared.And I decided to replace the bearings at the end of the season. I could remove the motor, I have connectors in front of the mast. But I decided to try to remove the bearings without dismantling the engine. I made a puller from a tube and used a threaded stud. Everything worked out! the rear bearing rotates with jamming. ordered new NSK. There was no water inside, I will not change the seals yet!

Sorry for reviving this old thread again, but my dad and I took a 65161 apart for some “maintenance”, and lost the order of the sealing part (we did make a note of if, but kind of lost it).
Anyone here who can verify if this (see pic) is the correct order?

Obviously the “lid” will go after the bearing, and than the rest will follow.

Thank you.


The space is in wrong pos

I was afraid of this.
I guess that we will need to open the motor again :frowning:

@Kian

If you could post another photo of correct assembly for future reference I and likely others would appreciate it.

This should be it :crossed_fingers:

From right to left.
Spacer > bearing > cover > ring (with inner part a little bit thicker, facing to the cover/bearing) > stationary compression sealing rubber (springpart facing bearing) > rubber ring (white ceramic facing stationary compression sealing) > flat washer > retaining ring.

Would anyone have an ali link for an o-ring that suits, does a 2.5mm thickness 45mm ID NBR o-ring fit well?

This is the closes we found.

The OD 50 x 2.4 (should be 50 - 4.8 = ID 45.2)
