It's just a spring loaded mechanical "pump seal". The PS-309 is still available from many suppliers however it is 7/8 diameter so you'd need something similar but larger for your 1" propeller shaft. There are other types of mechanical seals that will work as well.</div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5729" dir="ltr"><br></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5729" dir="ltr">Jon<br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5687" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5686"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5685"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5684"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5728"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5786"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> james hughes via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Monday, August 27, 2018 10:15 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Lurker finally surfacing!<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5688"><br><div id="yiv9000174537"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5691"><div style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5690"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5727">Hi Jon,</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5689">Thank you for your advice! I've not looked at the motor pod drawings of the K250 in more than a decade because when I first started out I bought two 40# thrust motors from the Kent Corporation and figured I would just use those. Looking at the drawings now I can't seem to see the details I think I would need build (or tell my nephew how to build) such a part. It's not clear to me what kind of seal to use (many other parts Captain K. was spacific about, like o-rings and valves) or the size.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5692">Thank you for your recomendation for All Seals Inc. I bookmarked their website some weeks ago and intend on paying them a visit next week (I've got to wait until I get paid on Saturday). Fortunately, I live only a few miles from their Lake Forest location. I think I've seen a seal that will work for me in their catalog and a calculation that shows how much room I need (after compressing the spring) to firmly hold the seal in place inside the through hull connection. Now I need some education in bearings. There is another site that I may contact about those if no one on this list has a recommendation for me. Thanks again!</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1535454153043_5726">God bless, Jim</div><div class="yiv9000174537yahoo_quoted" id="yiv9000174537yahoo_quoted_5642602902" style="display: block;">
