The yard said they were able to tighten the seal (I assume by adjusting the
the shaft seal) The boat is in the water and I would hope not to haul it
until the fall. But I will have both bellows done in the fall.

However until then - where did you put the hose clamp? How did you keep it
from pushing the bellows against the roatating shaft?

That happened to me after 12 years - it takes a set - try moving the
bellows position to make it tighter - I used a big hose clamp on the
bellows for a year to apply pressure till I changed it next year - the
bellows was about $65 or so. I replaced the shaft and both bearings at
the same time - so it's good for another 12+ years.

I think that your bellows might be due for replacement. PSS changed
that part
as the old style bellows would take a "set" and not press the seal
together as
they should.

Question has anyone using the PSS system had the problem?

PS these things have worked perfectly on our for 9 years
