BlueMoon said..Hi,
Can anyone tell me what type of shaft seal this is?
There isa grease nipple on the top of it, i presume more grease should stop or slow the drip which is about 1 drip every six seconds at the moment. There doesn't seem like there's any way to tighten it. (You can see where the water got to)
Also the rubber? hose needs replacing, where do i get the proper hose from?
Cheers
It looks like a normal packing gland but with a different adjustment arrangement. Are you sure the end near the shaft doesn't turn? Is it knurled? It should be obvious how it works when you get it out.
Get the hose from any marina workshop.
It is looking very sad, I wouldn't delay pulling it out and giving it a total service.
Or, you could do what I did and replace it with a Volvo gland. The occasional grease is all it needs and the bilge is dry. No drips, ever.
