A nice sailboat sank at the dock here a couple of years ago due to failure
of a galley sink drain connection.
I've gotten religion regarding closing of thru-hulls.

I’m a firm believer in shutting the through hulls every time I leave the boat.
Probably the submariner in me that doesn’t like to expose piping to sea
pressure when I can let a valve take the brunt of it. Always a “straight board”.

You can eliminate the vent by plugging the hole with a small brass pipe

I installed one on Pegasus, I ran the vent above the waterline, and put a
small loop in. The purpose of the line is to vent air from the seal to
prevent the carbon seal ring from burning up.

The PO changed from the original stuffing box to a PSS seal on Cat’s Paw
sometime between 1980 (when my father sold the boat to him) and 2004 (when I
bought her back). That PSS did not have the vent tube option. There was some
wear on the carbon(?) face (that seals to the SS part) although no

You can always run the vent line to your salt water supply to the engine.
That is how mine is run.You need to change the rubber boot every 5-7
years.I generally replace the entire assembly at that time.

This is why I love this group, lots of great experience to draw on. I’m
reconsidering switching based on the advice. I never heard about or thought
about the catastrophic potential with the PSS. It’s also significantly less
expensive to keep what I have and re-pack. Thanks again.

Hi Brien,
Have to share this. I don't know what the previous owner used in my 1990 shaft
seal. It does leak slightly when I first launch and when running, but not after
the engine stops. I've owned the boat fifteen years since 2002 and never
tightened the packing. No, I won't take it apart.

I don't think you have to run it overboard. It just has to get above the
water line on all angles of heel. I didn't install mine so it isn't a
fresh memory but I believe mine runs into the engine compartment, through
the compartment roof and into the HVAC compartment under the companion way

I think you need about 1” (3 cm) between your old stuffing box and the
attention not to create a
situation that could sink your boat.
