Yes, they are lip type oil seals. Two for each prop shaft, back to back. I took to the bearing shop an original Yanmar part #196440-02871 which was matched with TC12515 seals size 34 X 52 X 8 mm. The shop bloke checked the little tension spring of the Yanmar part with a magnet; it was non-stainless steel, so he replaced the steel springs for the outer seals with thin section O-rings, size 34.65 X 1.78mm. The replacement part should be superior and much cheaper to the original.

The install is very solid.

Lol'ing over your toilet shot in Off to the Boat Show 2016 #4

I take it you live on your 400 Scott? Where do you moor? I might haver a few more questions too

[Scottster]

My L400 is now moored in Nanaimo B.C., Canada
We are heading South to Mexico in August, staying there for a year then down to Ecuador and over to the Galapagos. Then off to the standard Coconut Milk Run.
We plan for 10 years out on the blue.

Have only good winds and good spirit(s)

I just spent the last few days on the hook.
All systems working, my solar gave me more than enough power. My WiFi booster worked like a charm, I did a washing in my new Miele washing machine while under sail.
The last detail is the watermarker, it arrives in a couple of weeks.
With that said I was thinking that the summer tan I will get this summer will stick around.
We sail south to Mexico in August.
The boat feels like home.

I love my Lagoon 500 ever heard of a cat moving sideways off a dock ? mine can, with bow and stern thruster's

[tuskie]

That's what I like about the L400; we can manoeuvre on and off docks WITHOUT bow or stern thrusters.
