Default Dripless packing injection line floods engine!

No. You need to burp it any time that an air bubble occures. A diver
cleaning the prop etc can cause the problem. I would up over burping mine
for fear of having a leaking seal due to overheating with the air bubble.
With packing you can add another ring but with PSS you need to haul out.

I have since found out from some one on this group that an air bubble will
cause a racket (noise) from the seal. Burping after this fixed the noise
and the seal did not leak. I guess my worries were for not.

One disadvantage to the tubeless one is that you
need to burp the seal to get the air out.


I thought this burping was only after the initial installation. Surely

you
are not expected to burp the seal before every use of the motor? Someone
being extra cautious here?

FYI PSS no longer sells a low speed version. They only sell the water
injected "High Speed". If your application originally qualified for
the "low speed" version, you can safely use the water injected unit
without hooking it up to the cooling system. Just attach a 3/8" hose
and bring it high up on the centerline as a vent. No burping and no
compromise of your cooling system.

Larry, are you going to write to PSS about this whole thing and ask
their opinion?

I would have thought that would have been one of the initial steps
towards a solution.
