Yes, that one plan in particular is pretty nasty. It's a Crane
8B3, not 883. The exact wording is as follows:<br>
<br>
Crane 8B3 Seal (see Crane DWG CF-SP-44204)<br>
or US Seal PS 309 (see DWG K350-025-3)<br>
<br>
The 600 required the same seal (8B3) but they are not manufactured
anymore. I contacted Crane back when I removed the K600 motors
because it was pretty obvious they were going to have to be
replaced and they were more than willing to manufacture an exact
duplicate for $1800 per seal. The replacement is an 8-1 which was
going to cost $1000 per seal. That's one reason I scrapped the
existing motor configuration and decided on fixed minn-kota
thrusters. I purchased four 101# thrust minn-kotas for less than
the price of one Crane mechanical seal.<br>
<br>
You have another option with the K350 however, US Seal PS-309
(150psi) and they are cheap, between $50-100.<br>

I couldn't use the 309 because I needed a rating of 300+ psi but
the 309 at 150psi will theoretically get you close to max dive
depth.<br>
