LASDROP Propeller Shaft Dripless Seal

[John Blakely]

I recently bought a l985 Hunter 31 that has a LASDROP Propeller Shaft Dripless Seal. The Seal currently leaks about a quart a half hour at 2000 rpms - far too much for comfort. Unfortunately the previous owner has lost the owners manual and the manufacturer, Nautical Specialities of Walled Lake, Michigan, has gone out of business. Does anyone have the same of similar seal and/or owners manual? If you do have the owners manual, I will pay for duplicating and shipping costs or faxing,  Love the boat; love the idea of a dripless seal - not fond of sinking! thanks for any help.

LASDROP SEALS

I have a recent flyer from Lasdrop Shaft seals, their phone number is 1 800 940 SEAL. Hope this helps. I am in the market for a Hunter 31. Fred

My 37.5 came with a lasdrop that leaked a lot. You can loosen the clamps and try compressing the bellows back a little to see if that helps. It did in my case for a while. However, it still leaked to much for me. We eventually replaced it with a PYI that has been great. I think I still have some info on the lastdrop. If so you are welcome to it.Mike Oatsvalls/v Jesster
