My previous response seems to have been rejected for a problem on the mail
list. Trying againPaul,
To bleed the bellows, just push it aft on the shaft to separate if from
collar on the shaft. Allow water to flow for a few seconds then release
the bellows and it should seal against the collar. This just gets rid of
any air that may be trapped in the bellows and insures water is in contact
with all of the internal parts.Here is a link to the Tides Marine product:
https://www.tidesmarine.com/sureseals. It’s not the bellows that is spared
on the shaft but the lip seal.Regards,
John Stevenson

All the above is good advice. We also have used the PSS shaft seal a long time without any issues. The only reason for failure that I can think of would be set screws failing and the collar backing off. We have a hose clamp on the shaft against the collar to prevent this, a belt and suspenders strategy.

Excellent backup strategy Quent. Thank you.

Agreed! That is a smart back-up. I’m going to copy it.

I have a zinc backed up against the collar, can’t hurt and it just might
help.

Neat idea! I can’t imagine it having any anti-electrolysis impact
at all, but it seems like a handy place to carry a spare shaft
zinc with the added benefit of backing up the PSS collar until
the zinc is needed at the other end of the prop shaft.Quote:
