Is this dealing with your thread in the link below asking about replacing your cutlass bearing? I'd lay under the boat and see if you have any rudder offset as a start.

97? Should be offset enough to get the shaft past the rudder. I dont think that was the case in older boats.

if I pull the prop first, can the prop shaft slide by the rudder or do I need to pull the rudder also?

I put in the PSS in my 82 several years ago. Clean dry bilge, . But, you are right, it is pricey.

I am happy with the gore-tex packing. I only get about a pop can's (soda for you easterners) worth of water in a several hour wakeboard session. More water than that comes from the boarders!

I should have waited, I gave 336.00 4years ago.
I used to work on boats that were equipped with the dripless seal. IMO they were a lot more hassle. I have always run my stuff box a little tighter, maybe 6 drips a day. this way any drips will evaporate. AT |

it sounds like Cecil is using the code of the road, still cheaper than a single taper.

Ok, I seem to remember that you were always the one who needed his beauty rest and never wanted to be out very late at GL!! Those barefoot runs sure and hard on the older generation!

Ben, You haven't worked hard to keep water out of a bilge unless you've owned a wood boat that needs a new bottom! Have you owned one? |

I think I will take your advice with the gortex, I have worked very hard in my other boats to eliminate water in the bilges. It has cost me alot of money in the past, but being a boat owner I know the old saying. Guess I'am just anal about it.

Ben,
Since you're putting the double taper shaft in and it makes pulling the shaft coupling easy and fast so I suggest you try the Gortex first. Then, if you don't like 1 drip per minute you can easily put in the drippless system. What's the problem with water in the bilge? You do realize it is more the norm for a boat!

I would rather not spend the money, but I don't like water in the bilge. Is there a clear advatage to dripless seal vs the gortex packing?

Ben,
Just FYI if you don't want to or don't have the cash to spend on the dripless, the way to go is with the Gortex GFO packing in the existing stuffing box. Personally, I feel the dripless is over rated and really not needed. Good news on the ARE shaft. That is a very nice product. |

Guys thank you for all the info.,amazed @ the knowledge out there, it has been very helpful! In case anyone is wondering, I cut out the drive shaft, going to order double taper shaft and dripless. Is OJ dripless seal a good one.I noticed it about 50 bucks cheaper than PSS seal any info?

well if you don't know what your doing and grabing it by the flang instead of the meaty section of the coupling but worst case get a new coupling or have the old one faced which you should have done anyway. |
