then this is the part you are looking for.
NEW / NEVER INSTALLED
These are genuine OEM parts that have never been installed.
They are being sold as new old stock (NOS) from marine parts inventory.
The pieces may have minor cosmetic signs associated with age or storage, such as light surface marks or discoloration.
These are normal possibilities with older OEM marine inventory and do not indicate previous installation.
The exact part shown in the photographs is the part you will receive.
This is an original OEM OMC / Johnson / Evinrude part.
The original OMC part number remains useful when rebuilding older gearcases because many modern aftermarket listings use cross-reference numbers rather than the original OMC number.
Current marine parts catalogs still identify 317165 / 0317165 as the forward-gear thrust washer and continue to list it for multiple older gearcase applications.
