i have a 95 xp which about three years ago, the bearing on the thru hull fitting broke and flooded the engine compartment. i noticed on my buddy's 97 spx 800, it didn't look like he a had the same setup. is their a bearing or seal to wear out on his,i didn't see a grease fitting.

is the carbon ring more reliable. i kept mine greased and the bearing locked up somehow. if possible i would like to install the carbon ring setup. is there a retro fit kit?Comment

No, your driveshaft will not accept the retainer clip for the carbon seal.
Here is a tip. Grease it when you finish riding it for the weekend, after you use the pwc, to push any water from the bearings that may get into the past the seal and into the bearings. Same goes for trailer wheel bearings.Bill O'Neal <br>
