Housing
Made from fiber-reinforced composite material, the housing is strong, durable and compact. The SureSeal® is dimensionally unaffected by temperature and will not absorb water.
Bearing
The integral PTFE bearing extends the operating life of the SureSeal® under normal operating conditions.
Hose
Connecting the SureSeal® to the vessel is now easier with an “articulating hose”. This hose design automatically positions the SureSeal® the correct operating distance from the stern tube. No measurements are required – installation is simplified. The articulating hose reduces side loads to the SureSeal® when shaft misalignment occurs. As a result, lip seal and bearing life are extended.
Lip Seal Replacement
The SureSeal® design incorporates a removable front cap which improves access to the lip seal. A worn lip seal can be replaced, even while the vessel is in the water, restoring the “100% watertight” characteristic of the SureSeal®.
Injectiong Fitting
The SureSeal water injection fitting is made from 316 stainless steel. Depending on the propeller shaft size, it comes in 3/8 or 1/2 inch sizes. A plastic cap is provided with each fitting so that if the injection hose has to be removed, the cap will restrict water flow into the vessel.
Before Ordering
SureSeals® are sold as a kit which includes a section of articulating hose (in most instances) and four hose clamps. To determine
