Help me Install Dripless Shaft Seal (PYI Model)

[anelso29]

it looks like you have the shaft seal well under control. I would be concerned about getting the shaft coupling aligned to the transmission after changing the mounts and prop shaft.

Thank you for your response! This is my next project but I will have professional help when I complete that part.

Hey everyone! I have a few updates. I didn't take enough pictures, but I do have a few to show the progress.

Tasks completed over the holiday weekend:

• Installed new Cutlass bearing
• Installed new engine mounts
• Installed new prop shaft
• Completed the first round of engine alignment (I have to do more, but I ran out of time)

Work still needing to be completed:

• Finish the installation of the dripless (need to compress the seal with the bearing, just didn’t get to it yet)
• Fully attach and tighten all motor mount bolts
• Run a new fuel line (I have one that is leaking)
• Finish installing the propeller & attach anodes to the to shaft & paint shaft with prop coat
• Drop the boat into the water to complete final engine alignment

Sorry, I know this is a lot and more than the topic of this post, but I wanted to share my progress to make sure I am not missing anything. As always, thank you all for your support and helpful tips!
