provides an opening through the bottom of the
boat for the propeller shaft. The Strong Seal
™
is connected to it by a short length of special
flexible hose which serves to absorb normal
shaft vibration (see Fig. 4.11.2). The Strong
Seal
™
prevents water from leaking around the
shaft and into the boat. Shaft alignment and
straitness must be correct to assure proper
operation of the Strong Seal

. Refer to the

information for the seal carrier
kit in the Owner’s Manual packet.
