Re: Tides Marine shaft seals
How do you mean; with the company or the product? I've dealt with both countless times and have been pleased with the product and service. What are you having trouble with?

Re: Tides Marine shaft seals
Have you taken a real close look and confirmed the leak is coming from between the shaft and seal and not from elsewhere in the assembly?

Re: Tides Marine shaft seals
And - go figure! - ran the boat for a couple hours yesterday and -- no drips! I am wondering if we may have gotten some debris (sand/mud) up in the seal area that caused the drips, and now - the boat has sat enough since for that to get worked out. Here's hoping!..
