Re: Inboard dripless shaft seal replacement?
Jeff,
I repowered my Hatteras Last year and decided to go the dripless stuffing box route. The guy who bedded my engines recommended the Strong Seal's.
I have had no problems thus far and the nice thing about these seals is the give you a replacement seal that is already mounted on the shaft if you need to replace it.
How is the alignment on your engine? also your cutless bearings?
is the shaft bent or worn?
Just a few things to check.
Also if you ever need a new shaft, try Rose Marine, in Gloucester, MA, best prices on the east coast even with shipping.
Hope this helps,
JW
