    E32-3 Dripless Diagnostics

    I had Makana out of the water in May, mostly for a routine bottom-job.... but as my dripless shaft-gland was at least 6 years old, and their recommendation is to have the bellows replaced every 6 years.... I had that done too. In fact, my guess is it was more than 6 years old because mine did...

    Dripless shaft seals [Master Thread]

    Hello All, I'm in the process of R-n-R'ing the 5432 in my E38 with a used engine. In the process of removing the engine several other things are receiving attention. I am considering installing a dripless shaft seal while the engine is out. Boats with dripless setups seem to have less...

    Rebuild of Atomic 4 and Dripless Packing

    As I mentioned in a different thread, I rebuilt an Atomic 4 (which I found fairly inexpensive, and it had freshwater cooling) and replaced the A4 that came in the boat. I should have taken more pictures along the way, but greasy hands dissuaded me from picking up the camera too often. When...

    Dripless Shaft Seal/E30+

    Has anyone replaced the stuffing box on an E30+ with a "dripless shaft seal", PSS or otherwise? I have been planning to have this done as soon as I have the boat hauled for the winter. There was one on my previous boat, and I really liked it. In talking to a neighbor with a Tartan 31, he...

    "Dripless"

    I have a so-called dripless PSI shaft seal. Basicly ok, but occasionally the stator starts to oscellate on the shaft. The oscellation builds until the inside of the graphite stator strikes the shaft producing a loud rattling noise. Some water spray sometimes accompanies this performance...
