I agree with Josh, my PYI would be perfect if it could be changed without haul out! I am trying to imagine the circus in the rear stateroom of my 37+ if you tried this change in the water! The failure rate of this PYI system seems to be nearly negligible, the pressure on the mating surfaces

I don’t have a 33, so I cannot comment on how it would fit. But I installed a PYI dripless shaft seal on my boat 4 years ago and I am happy with it. As Nathan did, I replaced everything (shaft seal, shaft, coupling and the cutless bearing). You can do just the seal, but if you have to remove

Yes, I did it 3 years ago. The first project was to replace the leaking transmission seal so I had to remove the coupling. I ended up replacing everything: seal, new split coupling by Buck Algonquin, new shaft and a PYI dripless. It is pretty tight but it fits, I think the new coupling is a

Not sure regarding the 33-2 but I was able to just fit a PYI shaft seal in my 34. It took perhaps an inch or so more space along the shaft than the original stuffing box. Once installed and assembled with the right pressure on the bellows I have an inch or so between the PYI and the end of

Not sure what you're saying. PlasTeak is 1/16 inch thick. It's like Linoleum. Cut to fit and glue it down. If you want to get fancy with borders and stuff, it's a bit more work but no different than installing Linoleum floor. Dennis C. On Thu, Oct 18, 2018 at 11:18 AM Chris Graham wrote: >

IMHO...there is enough stuff that can get into the bilge without adding one more, potentially gross, variable which can cause hard to get rid of odors. I configured my foot pump so it can pump fresh water, salt water, or icebox water into the sink. David F. Risch, J. D. Gulf Stream

David, For that little galley shelf, the laminate was glued on then trimmed with a router with laminate blade. Since you are leaving the fiddles, yes, a template is a must. I made templates of the aft and outboard bulkheads in Touche's head. It took a while to get the templates exactly right.

Speaking of Whale pumps, a lot of C came equipped with a Whale foot pump attached to the drain hose for the icebox. The pump drains the icebox water to the galley sink instead of the bilge. On my 34, we disconnected the pump and just ran the hose to the bilge. A prior owner did the same

Finding a plastic pump with matching bolt pattern is the challenge. I think there are a few. There's also the issue of freeze protecting a plastic pump which may or may not be an issue. Yes, they are expensive but a Whale Gusher may just save you and your boat. BTW, I routinely flush my Gusher
