Shaft seal kit FSKM-35M-57M-1 for Dia. 35 mm propeller shaft x Dia. 57 mm sterntube

The Tides Marine SureSeal Shaft Seal Kit is a drip-free, self-aligning propeller shaft seal designed to replace traditional flax packing systems. It ensures long-lasting sealing performance and minimal maintenance for both retrofit and new inboard engine installations.

Key Features:

• Drip-Free Operation: Eliminates water ingress into the bilge, maintaining a dry environment.
• Self-Aligning Design: Uses a precision-machined Teflon® bearing to align with the propeller shaft, reducing wear and increasing longevity.
• Dual Water Injection Fittings: Includes two 316 stainless steel fittings, allowing for a passive crossover in twin-engine configurations to ensure proper lubrication and cooling.
• Articulating Hose: Automatically positions the SureSeal correctly from the stern tube, easing installation and minimizing shaft side-loads.
• Replaceable Lip Seal: Allows for quick in-water replacement using an optional Spare Seal Carrier Kit.
• Durable Construction: Built with a fiber-reinforced composite body that is strong, lightweight, and impervious to corrosion or water absorption.
• Certifications: ABS and Lloyds Type Approved, guaranteeing compliance with international marine safety standards.
