I have a PSS seal on my boat and you can add me to the list proponents.
I did have a porblem with shaft vibration when I first bought the boat where the prop shaft flange was not centered on the Transmission flange. The PSS seal never leaked a drop!! The vigration and the shaft hitting the hull at certain RPMs was what made me fix the porblem. Matt |
Keith,
This looks interesting. But where do you buy it? Thanks. Bob |

I installed a Lasdrop on one of my old sailboats and it preformed exactly as advertised but I was appalled at the relative fragility of the unit compared to an old fashioned shaft log. The only time I have encountered issues with the PSS was in the case of a long shaft, typically in trawler designs. It simply did not work well, and we reverted to a standard gland.. -- Good luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://kerrydeare.home.comcast.net/ |
