Below are a couple of pictures, one is the typical set up of the marine shaft set up, the second is showing what can happen with older age stern tube's and corrosion, the other issue is sealing the end bearing to the hull so no water leaks into the stern tube surround aperture.

Trust this gives you an insight as to the normal set up,

Cheers Steve
