Sierra 18-2022 Oil Seal - Replaces OMC 303345 for Evinrude Outboard Prop and Driveshaft
The Sierra 18-2022 Oil Seal is a direct-fit replacement seal engineered for Evinrude outboard prop and driveshaft applications. This small bolt-on component seals against water and lubricant loss around the driveshaft, protecting the gearcase from water intrusion and helping maintain proper lubrication at the seal interface. It is designed as a drop-in equivalent for the OMC 303345 seal, making it a straightforward swap during gearcase service, lower unit rebuilds, or routine seal replacement.
Installation is bolt-on and does not require special tools beyond standard seal installation practice. Because seals are wear items that harden and lose sealing ability over time, replacing the 18-2022 at the first sign of water intrusion or oil seepage helps prevent more costly gearcase damage. Each unit is sold individually and is intended for one seal position per the catalog listing quantity.
