I had everyone sit on the bow to plain out and headed for the dock . Stopped and got trailered , it took 20min to drain with everything open and bilge pumps on ! .

So now that I have almost sunk the boat , what would be the best shaft seal for these 1" shafts . And what do I need to measure to order or price the new set up . ?


Also I've seen some with a hose connected to it . What is that all about ?
That one with a hose attached to it is probably a dripless shaft seal. If you are at that point in time, I would just go that route.

This is what I bought for mine.
