I am trying to get to the bottom of this. So I am kindly asking for your contribution of FIRST HAND experience only. Did your boat or did you have been on a boat experiencing a so called catastrophic seal failure.
Definition of catastrophic: Fast water ingress which would result in sinking if left unattended for less than 24 hrs (approx).
Please indicate:
a, Type of seal in question: Stuffing box (make/model), Halyard Seal, Deep Sea Seal, PSS Seal, Volvo Seal, others.
b, Short description of failure
c, Action taken to stem water flow
d, Action under c, did prevent boat from sinking or boat actually sunk
e, If boat sunk please indicate whether at sea or at mooring/anchor/marina etc.
Many thanks for your help and I look forward to your contributions. I will gladly summarize the results and re-post them.
