The line around the prop will ruin the seal. If u change your lower unit oil regularly you will notice funky oil (water in oil) maybe kinda glittery (shavings) this means your seal is bad. If you keep running with a bad seal and bad oil you will ruin the bearings and gears. You can take your prop off and check for the line on the prop shaft in front of your prop. That is where the seal is located.
