Shaft Seal

Posted by wink50109 (jlittle@…>)

Has anyone ever changed the rubber bellows portion of the shaft seal on
a 39 Express?
At the moment I’m trying to find out the manufacture of the seal and am
emailing pictures to PSS. The boat has a Yanmar with a V drive and you
can barely get a hand under the oil pan where the seal is.

My '87 Freedom 28(Mull) has a Syntron shaft seal. Yours may also be

Syntron shaft seal usually has a straight away
rubber tube but again I have only limited knowledge speaking with the new company
and talking to others. As I stated in an early thread the Syntron company
was purchased by Garlock Klozure in Palmyra,
NY. The information on
Syntron (Freedom 30):

Part # for a full unit RP-32 S/H
(stainless steel) or B/H (bronze) 1” shaft 2” stern tube
Repair or maintenance kit DIR-32
S/H (stainless steel) or B/H (bronze) 1” shaft 2” stern tube.
The maintenance kit is $499.07. The whole unit unfortunately must
cost a fortune! The front plate with the fours screws is $133.57.

The contact is:

Joe Staetmueller 800-224-4590 great guy
really helpful.

Distributors:
Motion Industries
Applied Industries Technology

I have the original documents for FMC
Syntron and I will post them if anyone wants it.

There are very ones if space is not a
issue such as PSS and if space is any issue then Lasdrop Dry-Seal is what I am
currently using in place of the Syntron.
