which way does it go

[tboss]

I am installing a new impellar in my out drive. When I took it apart I discovered that there was no seal in the top of the impellar housing .I am refering to the seal with the spring inside not the one the water tube goes in. My question is which way does the seal go in the housing, with the spring towards the impellar or towards the water tube. My knowledge of seals tells me to install it with the spring towards the impellar but I want to check just to be sure im doing it correctly. help me here folks as you usually do. tks tboss ----terry

The question is, what year and what kind of drive do you have?
