    PSS Shaft Seal

    The seal is 9 years and 1400 engine hours old and is working fine. But, how long are these expected to last? Since it is an essential item, I would want to avoid a failure while on an extended cruise. Boat is being hauled in the Spring so would be the time to change it. Thanks.
