S&S Swan Maintenance - Prop shaft sealant, 38 |

Prop shaft sealant, 38 Greetings all, I purchased a new engine for Swante about a year ago - a Yanmar 3JH5E. The work was done in Gran Canaria. I sailed up to Lagos, Portugal this spring and back to GC in September. The engine now has about 230 hrs. On my return I noticed that the prop shaft enters the white plastic sealant at an angle, and this situation has gotten worse, to the point that there is now no clearance at all at the bottom (between the white plastic and the shaft), and plenty clearance at the top. Also, the rubber hose that makes up part of the sealing has been torn. There is no leak when the boat is not moving. (I will try to enclose a picture when the taxt is finished.) Has anyone else experienced this problem and what did you need to change in order to resolve it? Any advice will be gretly appreciated. Seasonal greetings to all, Terje |

Dear Lars, Once again, you help solve the problem - thank you! I gather from your answer, that I probably will not have to change any of the parts in the sealing - other than the torn rubber hose. Do you have the dimensions/specification of that item? Thanks again for good help in 2013 and all the best for 2014! Kind regards, Terje. |
