Ive ever had my thruster apart...have only changed the seals, oil, and nylon propeller bolts each time I haul the boat for painting. Mike, I used to get water in the oil until I started using the blue LockTite on the prop seal. I face the seal with the opening toward the oil and pack it with waterproof grease. Ive had no further water ingress and no oil loss since using that method. Kent SM 243 Kristy Currently Newport RI On Aug 31, 2015, at 7:25 PM, Peter Buckley carhartt@...

Hi Kent, I have a Mango that has a different type of designed thruster to the SM. I am currently rebuilding it. My question is? Has there been any information in regard to leaving all the seals in the bearings and just letting the gears in the drive be lubricated by the oil. When I removed the bearings they had all the seals removed but they had also seized. Thanks for your help Kind Regards Peter Gradiva Mango Raymond Island Australia From: "Kent Robertson karkauai@...

I guess that I should update the instructions in the files section. Bill Rouse On Aug 31, 2015 1:54 PM, "'Mark Erdos' mcerdos@... [amelyachtowners]" <amelyachtowners@...> wrote:
