Space for PSS Seal?

[Norman_E]

My post above has forgotten to take account of the width of the R&D flexible coupling (33mm)... Therefore, I may be able to fit in a Volvo seal (length 102mm) without a bobbin. It all depends on the gap between the shaft end and the rudder which I don't currently know for sure as I don't yet own the propeller!

If I remember correctly neither the Volvo seal nor the RMTA seal should be used with a flexible coupling. I had a Volvo seal with the shaft held in a rigid coupling, and have the same arrangement with the RMTA.

Yes, I do now recall hearing that with regards to the Volvo, but not the Radice. I will have to check on this, thank you.

I've read that somewhere as well, but seems fine with a Bullflex on mine. Perhaps with something like a dancing 1GM10 it might be a problem.

Had a 1GM, Bullflex and Volvo seal for many years without problems.
