Sierra Lower Unit Seal Kit 18-2679, Replaces 303345 and 327031
The Sierra 18-2679 Lower Unit Seal Kit is a two-piece oil seal set for the lower unit gear housing on Evinrude outboard motors. The kit bundles two oil seals so both sealing points in the gear housing are replaced together during a single service job, helping prevent gear lube leaks and water intrusion that can lead to costly gear housing damage.
Each seal in this kit corresponds to a specific position in the gear housing: one seal (Sierra 18-2022) replaces the original equipment 303345 seal, and the second seal (Sierra 18-2035) replaces the original equipment 327031 seal. Sourcing both seals as a matched kit under a single Sierra part number simplifies ordering for a complete lower unit reseal rather than tracking down each seal individually.
