Reply To: prop shaft seals for 5.5 hp double or single lip ?? at 0.5000 ID

[JACQUES]

my skeg is dripping about a drop a day but darn it I am having trouble finding the source

I had assumed a shaft seal leak but it does not seem to come from the prop seal , case bolts or oil plugs so go figure ???

I think i’ll drain the gearcase use the air/ soap bubble routine to check for leaks

thanks for the offer Chris … let me do a few tests before going further

for some reason I really like this jubile 5.5 model it should make a fine troller but I may have to covert it to pump .

pressure tanks are almost more expensive than the motor

it needed carbon seal and plate (seal plate disappeared in my work zone 🙁 ) impeller, a rewind spring, coils etc…

the usual stuff …..
