Stephen,
A couple of years ago I installed a PSS shaft seal also om my
C&C 30 Mk II. It was the low speed version....my boat motors only 6 knots. I
"burped" the rubber bellows as instructed. The Carbon flange and stator
would overheat often and make a rattling noise when in gear. I contacted PYI
the manufacturer, they explained that now all of their PSS shaft seals are
of the high speed variety. I assume that they were aware of this problem of
mine on other boats as well. They did send me a free carbon flange with the
coolant nipple however I didn`t chance it, I`m back to my old stuffing box
that never rattles.

The professional who installed the dripless shaft seal on my Hunter 33
told me to attach the tube coming off the seal to a spot where it opened
above the water line, but on a recent boating program on TV they said
you are supposed to T that into the exhaust line of the cooling system.
On the dripless web site they say that cooling system is only for high
speed boats. Should I leave it as is or T it in?

For any proposition there is always some sufficiently narrow
interpretation of its terms, such that it turns out true, and
some sufficiently wide interpretation such that it turns out
false...concept stretching will refute *any* statement, and will
leave no true statement whatsoever.
