I sorry about the typos, tequila will do that to you

Manecraft seals are dated and meant to be changed after 5 years -(which seems like 5 minutes to kiwis) If not leaking when static does it have a water feed ? and if so it may need reducing.

how old is the seal and how old is your engine installation? The faces do not last for ever and on an older installation the mounts can compress ever so slightly throwing un even pressure on the seal if the alignment has not been checked for a long time. If you want to do an in water inspection hop over the side armed with some blue tack or plasticine to seal around the shaft, then you can pull the seal back to have a look at it

First step of the new rudder done .... aircraft wing style of construction . carbon foam sandwhich panel laid up in the garage then sent to the CNC dude . next step is to wrap it in some funky sh*t then tip in some 2 part expanding foam . The foam will be sanded back to the ribs and then then it will get skinned carbon . design and construction is being done by my mate Scott who is handy with a computer and carbon . Check his Ross 490 rebuild here on creworg and in boating Nz The rudder will be hanging off a second generation E780 that we are bringing into this century
