sealed propshaft

(1/1)

boatmadman:
Where can I source a sealed propshaft? Or, alternatively, does anyone know of a way of sealing them?

I have looked through the traders section, but nothing leapt out at me.

Thanks

Ian

Mankster:
All my boats (subs) have sealed propshafts for obvious reasons. Check out Pandan Models for some ideas. I use Simmering seals at the moment.

Subculture:
Just a little to add to what Ramesh said. 'Simmerrings' are a trade name for oil seals made by Freudenberg-Simrit. They just happen to produce a range of Nitrile seals that go down to 3mm shaft diameter, which is ideal for modelmakers.
