Many boat, ship and yacht owners have a reoccurring problem with leaking gland housings and worn out shaft impellors.
The following is a case study of a recent enquiry and subsequent application for some stern gland packing.
The enquiry came in to Acumen Seals of Manchester England early 2008; from a boat owner and was for some gland packing for the impellor shaft. The packing needed ‘natural’ lubrication properties that would reduce shaft wear and leakage.
The boat owner is a valued member of the Cruising Association which has some 1500 members world wide and most of whom have the same problem with the gland housing on the shaft impellor.
