Shaft Retention Collar

You folks always provide great service - it's nice to deal with your company!

Everything was as it should be, 2nd or third time I have ordered from PYI & I
have had no problems of any kind.

I have a PSS Type A seal on my three year old boat. Recently, after running for about 30 minutes, my bilge alarm went off. Opening the engine room hatch, I found the engine room flooded. Searching for the leak, I found that the dripless shaft seal was letting water in, lots of water, especially when powered up. With the engine in neutral, the bilge pumps were able to bring the water level down and I was able to avoid disaster. The set screws had loosened and the shaft rotor had slid forward allowing water in. Seems that there should be something more than a couple set screws on a spinning, vibrating piece of machinery to keep your boat from sinking. This collar should provide needed backup and should be standard equipment on all seals, not just the pro models.

Normally, a shaft collar is nothing to get too exited about. When we first put out Rescue Minor into service, we put a steel collar on the rudder shaft. The rudder shaft seal was damaged and water was getting into the boat and soaking the collar. I had to cut the collar off the shaft when we replaced the seal. I found the stainless shaft collar on PYI and ordered it. The collar arrived a couple days later and it was a perfect fit on the 3/4" shaft! The right part, promptly! Way to go PYI!
