PSS Seal

[turbolicious]

Hey Guys My boat seam to take a lot of water only when running, I have a PSS type seal on my shaft, I found that the front clamp was loose.
Does anyone has a break down picture of it, how is that fist clamp doing a seal i seam to be able to move the booth back & forth. i have look on DIM but cant find where this one seal?

Chautauqua sun posted this website a few days ago and it is by far the best breakdown of the stuffing box i have seen yet. I'm replacing my seal before my next outing and the directions left no room for confusion. http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/stuffing_box&page=1

Thanks I have sean the post, i have look on this site and found a PSS instalation...Now Mine dosen't seam to have the vent, and the clamb right before it is loose and seam to have space to move...Is there a bearing or seam that let the shaft spin and allow the clap to be tighten to it??
