As an old Navy mechanic, I'm not so sure the shaft should be moving forward and aftwards. But maybe it's different on these little trawlers? If I saw that I would start looking at bearings along the shaft. Something would have to be loose to allow the shaft to move back and forth. I believe this shaft seal is a mechanical type which depends on a tight contact between the spinning ring and the bellows portion. So when the boat pulled in reverse and the shaft moved aft, the seal reseated. If something is a little loose and you start pushing forward, that would open the seal again. I don't think this is a packing type shaft seal, those are designed to drip to keep the packing cool.

I think it wasn't the shaft moving so much as the bellows were sliding on the shaft making it look like the shaft was moving! Great questions and insight!

You are doing a super job dealing with new boat problems. Elliott is doing a great job obtaining info on problem and staying focused and taking breaks when needed. Elliott, most times when set screws are tightened against a shaft they produce a burr on the shaft which keeps the collar from moving back. Ran into this while on submarines. Just a thought.

The shaft lock key on the coupling can work lose letting the shaft move forward toward the transmission. As the shaft moves forward the bellows will loosen. This could be the cause….always good to know all possible causes.

The best way to fix your boating problems is to buy yourself a brand new million dollar boat and when these thing break ( and they will) just drop the boat at a yard and come back when it is fixed, problem solved and you pay the bill and go along on your merry way, that is boat life on another level. I am in the same sort of boat life as ya'll are and will work it out myself. I hope you do not get overwhelmed and toss in the towel, you guys are real and there are many many of us that know how the struggles can be real, but the good times make up for the bad ten fold.

Our boat is a 1978 Shannon. I always say that…not that a boat (especially old ones) means to, but she is always looking for ways to sink. Not her fault, just the way it is. Sailboats….add she is always trying to find ways to also kill you. But here we are, still have a boat! Knowing this is an important mindset to enjoying your cruise I believe. Our boat is on North side of Deltaville. Great boat town, but not conducive to walking since it is spread out….unlike a place like Elizabeth City or Annapolis. Outstanding job by the way in your crisis management, research, and solution effort. Always better with soft jazz playing. Happy yachting!

Hi kids!! Sorry you're having boat problems. I have been rv'ing since 2005 and have my original 5th wheel unit. Over the years I've had to replace/repair most major items. That's the reality of boat/rv life as you are well aware. You already know the "bad" points, but there are good points. 1) You really learn your boat and 2) if you fix it correctly, you can have faith in that repair. Every time a new rig comes into the campground, I think about trading up then I realize that even a new unit will have issues. I know my unit and how to repair it when necessary. So the gist of this rant is this. Hang in there, you're learning what it takes to do this kind of adventure ( most people don't have the guts to leave the security of their homes) and , when all's said and done, you'll have a great and dependable boat home. I think you're doing fine. You deal very well with adversity. Until next repair ( ha ha), safe travels. Semper Fi.

Also it looks like you have a breather hose on the shaft seal. Not sure if you have water injection, but you don’t need it on a non-planing boat. Just run it vertically as a breather hose to keep air out of the shaft seal. In fact too much water injection will make it more likely to leak.

Recently replaced our PSS shaft seal (while out of water by professional). There is a lifetime for the PSS bellows and it varies by specific PSS model. (6-years max for non Pro model). Someone advised me to replace for insurance reasons (since the age was could not be verified- no records from prior owners). I imagine there is quite a lag in your posts and you may know this already but I suggest checking with your insurer so you know your responsibilities!

I installed 2 of these on my boat. The bellows puts pressure on the shaft seal to keep it from leaking. There is a certain spec on the degree of compression required. They will leak if too little compression, or dirt between the faces. Also if your transmission/engine allows the shaft to move toward the bow as you increase thrust, you may not have the required tension on the bellows. The bellows are a replacement item(I believe after 6-10 yrs). Unfortunately difficult to do with boat in the water. In any case you can increase the pressure on the bellow by sliding the stainless collar towards the stern. On a boat there is ALWAYS an item or two that needs attention. Just part of boating!

@@thetattooedladyfan Remember that engine mounts can be faulty or “loose”, but most engine mounts are designed to flex a little to isolate vibration. So in that situation all engines will move slightly on their mounts based on torque and thrust angles. So a drip less seal has to be designed and adjusted for that. That is why there has to be a significant amount of pressure created by the bellows to keep the seal tight if the shaft moves forward a couple millimeters in gear at high thrust. Not to mention that fiberglass boats can actually flex a little also.

Keep aware of how close you stand near a turning shaft. One time, the gear cable on one of the two engines, broke - which required me to stand over the engine, and manually change gears, while my father steered the boat - apparently, I was standing too close to the turning shaft (about 800 RPMs - idling speed) when the turning shaft literally ripped my jeans I was wearing, completely off of me. Fortunately, I was not harmed by the incident; but repairs were a lot more than simply replacing the gear shift cable! We had to do a haul out, to complete the repairs.

Just an observation: As you said, boats are hard. I can not picture you both continuing boat life if you finish the Great Loop. Am I wrong?

Who knows what will come next after the Loop - even though boat life is hard, its full of highs and lows. Today was more of a low! I definitely see us living aboard another boat one day, especially with all we've learned onboard Pivot and the Loop!

I wish we could do more, all we can do is report them and remove them! Sometimes they come when we aren't checking comments and survive a little longer than they should. I would be nice if KZbin caught them, but I suppose they will eventually, until a new type of spam comes out 😁

The previous owner did a huge over haul of the engine right before we took ownership! So 1.5 years!

@@roydora It is a tractor engine but it is also very old :) Unfortunately, this part of the boat (the part that is leaking) won't have anything to do with the old tractor sections, it's part of the marine parts where the transmission ( a marine transmission) and propeller shaft exit the boat. A good engine review and inspection would definitely be great though!

Where do/did you go to research the cause and fix of the leak?
@SchoandJo
@SchoandJo 2 жыл бұрын
I started with figuring out what the part was (A PSS Shaft Seal) then trying to understand what its purpose / how it works. Then googling common problems with our problem like (spray at high rpms) etc. and then reading a ton. For this one, it is a common issue so I found it relatively quickly!
