The exclusive feature of Syntron Marine Shaft Seals is that they have NO DYNAMIC CONTACT with the propeller or rudder stock shaft. This means they will not score or groove the shaft to permit progressive leakage. They do lighten the frictional load on shaft and drive.

Their design also provides ease of installation. They eliminate the periodic adjustment of packing, providing low, low maintenance.

Available in a series of four types and in sizes to fit various diameters of shafting.
