I'm not sure I understand what $2 hose you are talking about?

Interesting discussion. I have the old school packing, which seemed fine
after we bought her and launched in June. But I do see a fair amount of
salt crystals behind the engine, so I now wonder how much it drips. Access
is pretty tight, but I will try to have a look next time we're motoring for

Glad to hear that yours works well. Since I went to the effort to replace
the battery holder, I will clean up the burners and see if that helps. I
wonder if my regulator is allowing a bit too much pressure and causing the
problem. On high, the gas comes out forcefully enough that part of the
flame
We use the stovetop burners on average a couple times a month, as when we can
we stay Saturday nights on the boat and have a breakfast routine on Sunday
mornings. Mysti the sailing kitty usually spends the night with us as well.

My batteries always die and leak between uses! Haha. I just use a butane
lighter to light the stove and oven.

Ours was as well, and it was under one corner (I thought the left instead of
the right), but it was really easy to replace with a battery holder with a wire
running out of each end. I re-wired that new holder in the circuit and mounted
it, and the sparker has now run perfectly for about 3 years
What you describe sounds like a PYI shaft retention collar. I think it is a
great addition to the PYI dripless, because it can grab the shaft quite well
(as opposed to the retention screws that are supposed to tap into the shaft
through the original collar). I know of people who use an extra hos

How many boats still have the original $2 piece of rubber hose in service after
30 plus years? I bet the number is high. I haven’t heard of anyone sinking due
to a shaft seal hose breakdown but why risk it for $2. Len

Josh,
I don't have my PSS manual here in Ohio, but basically it is a two part ring
that clamps around the shaft and carries two o rings inside.
It also acts to prevent shaft from going out the back of the boat if the shaft
coupler let's go.
I have never actually used the replacement o rings,
I don't have any ideas on parts, but we have a Force 10 stove and also a
BBQ on the rail. Both are nice quality so hopefully they will keep going. I
was a bit disappointed that I spent some time replacing the battery holder
for the ignitor on the stove, but it doesn't work well. It sparks with a

FWIW, I think the dripless seals are overrated. I've had my boat 18 years with
the packing from the previous owner and I've never tightened the packing gland.
After a relaunch, a Yanmar engine mechanic cautioned me from tightening the
packing nut for three days after a launch. He said wait th
For a vented PYI, you need to make sure that the vent is high enough above the
water level or you risk getting burps of water if you need to go into high
reverse (e.g. when docking or emergency stopping). Some use a bottle that
collect these burps. I plumbed the vent into the sink drain. As long
Bill,
I'm curious how that works having a spare seal?
As far as I can tell, the primary failure mechanism for the PYI is the
bellows. It's hard to keep a spare of one of those.
The Lasdrop Gen 2 has a semi rigid hose instead of a bellows and terminates
with a SS plate which stays stationary. T
Josh,
The PYI seal also is capable of storing a spare seal on the shaft in front
of the seal. I have one.

Someone here at our club had one on a Morris 47, and I heard it fell off in
front of the club in Port Dover 10 years ago.
Probably not the autoprops fault, but that is my only experience width them.

I have been a satisfied customer of max-prop and PYI for the 7 years of my
ownership. I am now to a point where the prop needs rebuilt at a
relatively high percentage of the replacement price. In the past I have
heard only one compelling reason to switch from a max-prop and that is the
auto prop.

Yep vented.
The PYI and Lasdrop seals rated the highest in a practical sailor review.
The lasdrop gen 2 has the ability to store a spare seal on the shaft and
the rated service life is 8 to 10 years.
I'm leaning towards the Lasdrop Gen 2 for my installation though I'm
tempted to keep the PYI. Th
Is yours vented? The vent was added some years ago. With it you never need
to burp the seal. We don't have the vent so occasionally we do have to
burp it. If I ever replace it I will put the same dripless, but with the
vent.
