Default Dripless packing injection line floods engine!

That is assuming that the cutlass is mounted in the end of the stern
tube. Obviously wouldn't make a difference in a strut mounted
cutlass.

I also misspoke about raw vs fresh water coolong. The problem
can occur in either case if you have a mixing elbow type exhaust.

As I mentioned earlier, the injection feature is a good thing
in any case. It helps keep the sediment out of the stern tube and
helps extend the life of the cutlass bearing. That is assuming it
is installed correctly.

Looks like your installer also ordered the wrong gland. pss seals are
available with or without the injection nipple.
