|
|
Has anyone installed a dripless shaft seal (e.g., the PYI P.S.S.)? I'm generally happy with my old stuffing box / flax combo, but am willing to think about alternatives.
Also, I see that West Marine has some synthetic clay-like material that replaces the flax in the stuffing box and (evidently) drips less. |

I installed a PSS shaft seal 1.5 yrs ago. Helps to keep the bilge dry and the engine compartment clean. I had installed one on a previous boat because of bad(impossible) access for stuffing replacement and used it for about 5 yrs with no problems. I liked it so much I installed one on the P31 even though the access is good. |
