Do NOT use the Tides Marine seal. Huge PITA if it leaks. I have the PYI carbon face seal, but I would be tempted to use a traditional stuffing box with Teflon tape if I could.

It has worked fine and I'm not afraid to stick with it but I'm looking for possible options or improvements. I've heard of Tides Marine making one and Sailor Sam's sells 4 different designs by the name Last Drop. I'll be pulling and truing the shaft, rebuilding the prop, replacing the cutlass bearing, replacing the seal. Anything else I'm forgetting while I have it apart?
