Sealing around prop shaft outer tube

<< < (2/2)

Baldrick:
I think it depends on the manner in which the prop shaft sleeve exits the hull. If it is a neat round hole through the stern post a bit of tape around the orifice and then stand the boat upright and pour in a bit of epoxy resin. If it is a long angled slash through the keel then I like to build up a shroud around the tube and hull to be faired in when set then a bandage of resin and tape over the inside to encapsulate the wound.

Thanks  :-))

If it is a brass outer tube make sure that you really rough it up as brass and resin do not like each other. So you are depending on a mechanical key. nemesis
