Figure 4-3 Dripless Shaft Seal - Axis A20 Manual

Care and Maintenance
Rudder Stuffing Box
The rudder stuffing box is a greaseless design and requires no regular maintenance.
Dripless Shaft Seal
Located in the bilge, under the rear center access panel, is the
dripless shaft seal. This seal is where the prop shaft goes through
the hull of the boat.
Prop Shaft/Engine Alignment
As per Indmar's recommended routine service maintenance, it is
necessary to regularly evaluate the prop shaft coupler bolts that
attach the prop shaft to the engine. See Indmar Owner's Manual
for proper prop shaft alignment. If the prop shaft bolts loosen
prematurely, major damage to your boat structure and driveline
could result. It is recommended that only a trained service
technician perform this maintenance due to the complications
that can arise from an improperly balanced prop shaft engine
alignment.
Damaged caused from loosened coupler bolts and improper
engine alignment is not covered under your Axis Boats
!
warranty, and should be part of the owner's service
responsibilities to ensure system is correct. See Axis Boats
and Indmar Owner's Manuals for appropriate timelines for
evaluation or checkup.
