bleeding and burping a dripless ahaft sea Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: General Correct Craft Discussion Forum Name: Off Topic Forum Discription: Anything non-Correct Craft URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6373 Printed Date: May-15-2024 at 9:35pm Topic: bleeding and burping a dripless ahaft sea Posted By: Lars Subject: bleeding and burping a dripless ahaft sea Date Posted: April-19-2007 at 12:17pm My boat has a dripless shaft seal. I've been led to believe that bleeding air from the seal and occasional "burping" of the seal is necessary to insure proper seal function. Can anyone here discuss the technique of "bleeding" the air out of the seal and how to go about "burping" the seal? Thanks for your attention. ------------- Lars Replies: Posted By: eric lavine Date Posted: April-19-2007 at 7:56pm are you that Lars guy from Metallica? JK anyways i never heard of burping a dripless and by the response of your post i really dont think any one else has, im curious, its a carbon seal that needs constant water on it and i dont know if any air could get up in it, as soon as you fire the engine you have light water pressure going right to it, thats the most important thing is the water flow to it. ------------- "the things you own will start to own you"
