I'm just about to invest in a PSS shaft seal to replace my standard stuffing box with greaser when I read Nigel Calder;s book on boat maintenance. He seems to advocate the standard stuffing box because it cannot undergo a catastrophic failure.
Mechanical shaft seals such as the PSS he implies can reach a point in their life where they can catastrophically fail due to the mechanical seal breaking.
Is he being overdramatic?
Is there actually a recommended lifetime for modern shaft seal before they are in danger of catastrophically failing?
