This is a newish boat to me and I have only recently got as far as considering the shaft seal. It hangs off the back of a 40HP Volvo. Is it Volvo seal?
Is it the sort that needs 'burping' and if so how do you do it?
If any of the rubber bits fail are you suddenly on a downward track to the seabed or is it less dramatic than that?
What oil do you use?
(I do have a manual but it's a long way away)
