Does anybody know if the dripless can be serviced without removing the prop and/or rudder on a 2003 Mainship 400?
 
Greetings,
Welcome aboard. Unless all Mainships of that era came with the same brand of drip less seal you may have to find out the make. I think some can and some can't depending on what has to be serviced.
 
Welcome aboard. Photos help so that others can see which dripless log you have.
 
Good advise thanks.

Here is are two links to a short YouTube Video of the dripless:



Let me know if this doesn't work
 
On ours we just had them replace after 19 years of service, zero issues, the yard was able to slide the shaft back enough to replace bellows etc.
 
Thanks, Are you single screw and what year is your Mainship 400?

Tides? PSS? Other?

If Tides, and there's a spare seal mounted on the shaft carrier... it's said to be easy. See the Tides website for details, video, etc.

Dunno about others...
