The Tides Marine SureSeal is a watertight, self-aligning shaft seal designed to replace old style flax packing assemblies and face seal dripless units used on inboard propeller shafts. The S-glass and epoxy resin housing contains a precision-machined Teflon bearing that keeps the lip seal aligned with the propeller shaft. The nitrile rubber lip seal prohibits water from entering the bilge, while the low-friction water-lubricated Teflon alignment bearing allows the propeller shaft to turn freely.
Fiber-reinforced composite housing is strong, compact, and durable; may be round or pentagonal, depending on size
Teflon bearing is tough and long lasting
Removable front cap allows access to the lip seal, making it easier to remove and replace, especially in cramped quarters
Included hose clamps won't tear or mar the hose surface and require less tightening force
Cooled with injected water; the crossover line in twin engine installations provides adequate water for both seals, even if one engine is down
Note: Dimension C in the table includes the optional Spare Seal Carrier shown; if no Carrier is used, you can subtract 1 inch from C to determine the minimum distance from coupling to shaft log
Spare Seal Carriers are sold separately
2-year or 2500 hour limited warranty
