Should I be using the water dump on these shaft log seals? To keep the prop shaft cooler?
I went all last summer without losing a seal. Then this year I just went through two sets already.
I am ordering a couple more from REX and trying again. Any tricks or suggestions. I am installing them so the cavities of the seals are facing in to hold the grease. Right? I don't remember if that is the way they came already installed and lasted a year. The first set I lost this year I thought it was because I didn't have my coupler set right on the V-drive and I had a wobble, but now it is perfect and I still took out a set.
Maybe I just didn't have the outside one seated up against the retaining clip properly?
Longer shaft log hose? I did cut an inch off so to move the seal down the shaft a little.
