What brand of dripless shaft seal is this?

Post by DAVIDLOFLAND »

Does anyone happen to know what is the brand name of these shaft seals? They may be recognizable by the green yoke on the spring side. Mine are putting out a fine spray mist and I am hoping some sort of a service kit may be available instead of buying whole new assemblies.

Thanks, Dave.

Try googling "dripless shaft seal", selecting "images" from the results, and scroll down until you see something green.

Wait, I did that already.....http://www.shamrockboatownersclub.com/f ... shaft-seal

See post number 3. Is that it?

I took another look at the image in the linked thread as I closed it. A genuine solid BRASS hose barb. In an application where folks could use them in sea water? Really? That pic looks to be copied from the manufacturer's website. If this is the case (and if this in fact what you have), I recommend looking into upgrading to a fitting material that is suitable for sea water. Or maybe someone could tell me why it's OK to use brass. Good luck with a speedy repair. The season has got to be just about over up there (not that you're probably doing much boating with those parts removed from the boat....).
