Right - just wasn't sure maybe the why not part. I'm on an inland lake but tons of big big boats pushing lots of wake often. I'm assuming I would still want one of these anti siphon elbows. My exhaust hose runs high up into the lazarette to avoid any wake back flowing water and over filling the water lift muffler into the elbow. I think I'll be installing an elbow this winter either way.
Finally went for a sail

Since it was such a beautiful quiet day on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay, I went for some ice cream...when I got back put the helm back together with the new cable that all works.
So I'm still hearing some rattles when the engine runs so I start looking even though it's starting to get dark one of the big rattles was this yes! I was very surprised! Just laying there in the aft transom lazarettes

I was going to make a separate post on this but hey I can ask the question here thank you for following my thread of ongoing and very slow going repairs to my H34.
I will check! don't have my caliper need to pick up a new one anyhow.
What is the size of the propeller shaft packing gland and shaft log hose?
Not sure if I'm going to go with traditional or PSS which I've had very good luck with on my other boat.
And yes I don't need to be reminded it will need alignment all the mounts are new so that shouldn't be too big of a problem..
At first glance looks like 1" shaft, 1.75"for the shaft log?

Those are the dimensions for my O’Day 322 (1988).
I replaced the original bronze shaft a few years ago, but just cleaned the old stuffing box and replaced the hose.
I am going to pull my stuffing box off this winter, inspect the shaft for wear, and will probably install the Volvo dripless stuffing box. Seems more simple and compact that the PSS.
I am really tempted to try this one…but I cannot find anyone who has installed it…

That’s a good rattle; what a find! Appears to be a very high quality lift. Must have made your day! Deciding if I want a stand alone lift or one that cantilevers off radar pole. Not in a hurry to proceed at this time.
Shaft is 1". I replaced the original stuffing box with a dripless. Mostly because the distance between flange and packing box was too short. To replace the packing I would have needed to move the engine (!). But in your setup it looks you have a good amount of room.
