Hi Kent, I grease the gearboxes 4 times a year and have not had a problem with water. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Eric, I read that in one of your earlier posts. I’ll definitely do that.
Has anyone come up with a good way to keep water from getting into the gearbox from above? I remember someone posting about a soda bottle cut off and placed above the gearbox with the shaft coming through the bottle was that you José? How has that worked? I’ve been greasing the upper shaft seal, but wonder if that’s really doing anything.
Thanks Kent SM 243 Kristy Kent Robertson
Hi Kent, When you finally get the shaft. I would suggest you take a few thousands of an inch off the keyway, both in height and width. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376
