OJ Flex Gland

Has anyone used one of these dripless seals from Johnson? Or heard anything good or bad about them?

i am considering a Volvo rubber stuffing box, but this looks interesting.

I was told it …”uses a patented seal race inner bearing seal system.”

the wide end has the seal, and the narrow end is on the stern tube…

Not familiar with this but do have to say I love my volvo seal. Works perfectly

I am always suspect when one manufacturer sells a product that is price well below all the competitors. I'm not saying price competition bad, just saying that someone who sells a product at ⅓ the cost of a similar PYI product must have cut corners somewhere.

Different design, different materials, etc can justify or rationalize a lower (or higher) price.

I am more interested if anyone has ever used this design.
