Hi,

I have another shaft seal question:

What type of seal could I use to seal
a trolling motor shaft for use under
higher pressure?

I am thinking of diver propulsion, so
it should hold up to 5 bar, or down
to 150 ft depth.

Thanks a lot,

Chris

Consult a seal dealer. The regular lip seals, effective though they
are might be too fragile for this service. o rings in appropriately
grooved housings can handle this pressure - they can be arranged to
seal better under pressure, in fact.
