F30 shaft seal

My 3 year old Tides Marine shaft seal is leaking when the engine’s in gear (can’t see exactly where) and the hose appears to be starting to split. What are people’s current experiences with Tides and Lasdrop? I’m thinking of ordering a Lasdrop.

Thank you

Hi Tricia -

My tides marine still works fine (seldom used now).

replacing your seal with the same one will certainly be much easier than trying to fir something else givem the length constraunte.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply. My understanding for the Lasdrop is that it requires no alteration to fit.

Hope all is well with you,
Tricia

Hi Tricia- There was a discussion on this not too long ago that may help:
