I have a mull 28, very similar to the 30.
When I bought the boat three years ago, the yard said there was insufficient
space for anything but the syntron. Mine needed replacing. The model in my boat
was out of production, but they had the plans and the yard had them make one.
It was $4-500 to make one, not cheap, but it should last another 15 years or
so.

Syntron Shaft Seal
Well, I checked my F30 yesterday and the
black dust is very fine and radially emanates from the shaft seal.
There is not sufficient space to install a PSS seal. Has anyone found a
suitable replacement?

Syntron Shaft Seal
The carbon dust will be very fine,and will not feel sticky.
The rubber from the belts will be coarser,and will feel rubbery-it is rubber.

[freedomyachts2003] Syntron Shaft Seal
\
My son completed a long trip under power today and
told me that the
engine compartment was freely dusted in what looked like carbon dust,
presumably from the Syntron shaft seal. I looked at the Syntron
materials I had in my file and read that one is apparently supposed to
loosen a fitting and “change” the water in the seal every four weeks.
I confess that I’ve never done this. Does anyone do this? Is my
Syntron about to disintegrate? (Despite the dust, there are no
noticeable leaks.) If so, has anyone replaced it with a PSS shaft seal
on a Freedom 30?
Many thanks.
