Upgrade to a Dripless Seal

ntroduction

For many boat owners, maintaining a dry and clean bilge is a continuous challenge. Traditional stuffing boxes, although functional, can be a significant source of water ingress, requiring regular adjustments and maintenance. Upgrading to a dripless seal can eliminate these issues, providing peace of mind and a cleaner, drier bilge. Auckland Marine Systems is here to assist you with all your boat's propeller shaft needs, ensuring a smooth transition to a dripless seal system.

The Benefits of Upgrading to a Dripless Seal

Replacing your boat's traditional stuffing box with a dripless seal offers several advantages:

  1. Leak Prevention: Dripless seals are designed to create a watertight seal around your boat's propeller shaft, preventing water from entering the bilge. This helps keep your bilge dry and clean, reducing the risk of corrosion and mold growth.

  2. Low Maintenance: Unlike stuffing boxes, dripless seals require minimal maintenance. There is no need for regular adjustments or repacking, which saves you time and effort in the long run.

  3. Increased Durability: Dripless seals are typically made from high-quality materials that are resistant to wear and tear. This means that they generally last longer than traditional stuffing boxes, providing greater value for your investment.

  4. Enhanced Boat Performance: By preventing water ingress, dripless seals can help to improve the overall performance of your boat. A dry bilge can contribute to better weight distribution and fuel efficiency.
