Hi Gang,
You all have been amazing! Thank you. So the two problems I posted before have been solved. Windshield broken on left side...local glass shopped fixed it for me for $121.00 and the distributor has been replaced. Thank you all. So I have never replaced the shaft seal. I am looking to order one. I am guess that size is a 1" shaft seal. Believe it or not I have the original one on there. Thanks Gang, -Sean

Sean,
Unless you have a "dripless" prop shaft seal, the seal is actually a rope seal inside the packing gland where the shaft enters the bilge. Is your's leaking? It should drip some since the rope packing is water lubricated. Take a look: Here's a better video on an actual prop shaft: |

So quick question....what about that rubber hose piece below the coupling where the shaft goes out the boat. That has never been changed and is looking awfully weak.
Thanks!

Never a bad idea but, you need to pull the shaft and with a single taper shaft, that can be a job.

If it's looking awfully weak, you might as well do it now instead of later, otherwise it makes for a big hard to stop leak when it decides to let go.
