Propeller shaft seal
If the boat has a Volvo Penta shaft the shaft seal
must be vented and lubricated directly after launching.
Vent the bushing by pressing it together while press-
ing down on the shaft until water appears. Then press
in approx. 1 cc water repellent grease into the seal.
IMPORTANT! The seal must be checked every
600 hours and changed as necessary. The seal
must be changed every five years, however.
