Although this new thread is not S2 27 specific, Bob Taylor mentioned in the engine compartment thread of a few days ago that he had a PSS shaft seal installed on his boat last year, and he hasn't had a drop of water in the bilge (or under the engine?) ever since. Music to my ears. Anyone else here on this list have a PSS shaft seal? I've been thinking about the PSS system since I bought my boat in '08.
Bob, what can you tell us about the process? I seem to recall that they are not UNreasonably priced, but did you have it installed, or did you do it yourself? Was it spendy to have it installed? The PSS website () makes it look pretty easy for the do-it-yourselfer, but hey, but I'm a sucker and have been fooled before! If I were to do this job--or have it done--I'd want to replace the cutless bearing at the same time, since I'd have the shaft disconnected anyway. My cutless bearing is likely as old as the boat.
Hey, you lazy lurkers, chime in! Let's get this party started!
