Propeller shaft mechanical seal BLUE WATER

boat

Chatfield Marine has developed a new commercial model of our famous Blue Water Shaft Seal. Commercial boat operators require a shaft sealing system that can be serviced without having to slip their boat and remove the shaft coupling. Fully water cooled and lubricated, this unit requires very little maintenance. A spare seal element is held in a specially developed plastic carrier just ahead of the seal head. Should a seal element need replacing it is simply a matter of removing the retaining plate, splitting the follower, cutting off the old seal and sliding in the new one. Re-fit the follower and retaining plate and the seal unit is fully operational again.
