Re: C-Drive vs Linecutter
Hi Dean
The washer with rubber inner seal is called a Dowty washer. A good hydraulic engineering or bearing shop will carry these and be able to match up the correct size.

Hi Dean,
How long has it been since you change the prop shaft seals?
I would recommend that you go ahead and change them now. You have no way of knowing if water is getting in there as well as through

Right, thanks Bill.
There was no washer, just the O Ring seal.
I’ll take it up with Amel.

Hi Dean,
Slightly off topic, where are you hauled out in Scotland? Masts down? It will be pretty windy in that part of the world over the winter months.
