The thread on anti-siphon valves remined me that three boats in Puerto
Vallarta had a PYI prop shaft seal slip forward and create a huge leak in the last year or so. Two of them had extensive damage and nearly sank at the dock before anyone noticed the problem. The third was caught quickly. Apparently the set screws that hold the assembly to the shaft either worked loose or were not properly installed in the first place. The solution is to put a hose clamp on the prop shaft just forward of the seal so it the screws slip, the seal can't move far. Is anyone aware of other occurances? |
