Hi, did you have issues with your prop shaft tube leaking thru the fiberglass? If so could you get back to me on how you resolved it. I have the same issue on my 02 310. Tahnks,Dave

Has anyone had this problem? This seems like it's a Sea Ray issue I thought I read a simular post but can't find it.:smt013

Have someone check the leak when you are under way. You might be flinging salt water under the engine and trans. not good.

What are other 310 owners using for 2nd ground tackle and where to store.

Frank, thanks for reminding me about the seal protector. I remember seeing it on the Tides site.

You have to pull the shaft back at least enough to expose the end of the shaft. How would you get a round seal on the shaft.

For $2K their not pulling the engines. The reason the shafts need to come out is because some moron at the Sea Ray factory put the spare seals that ride on the shafts backwards.

Looks like great stuff. I don't know how it will work with the shaft rotating but I what to get some to have on the boat. Thanks for the info.

I found a boat yard that will pull both shafts, replace seals and short haul for $2000.00. It's about a 15min. ride to the marina with water spewing from the seal. I might try to make a shroud to put over the seal assy. to cut down on the salt water spraying up under the engine. For a $3K...

Yes.

Your probably OK with a 35 footer. But if I had to do it over with a 31' I would stay away from the v-drive set up. Even though i'm a inboard die hard.

How difficult is the shaft removal from the ZF trans.? Is there a special puller needed to remove the shaft flange on the trans. end. I need to pull the shaft because some moron probably at the Sea ray factory put the spare Tides seal on backwards.

I here you but have you looked at the room between the engines on a 310. I'm only 5'2" and it was a tight fit for me.

I just went to replace my leaking seal on my port shaft. When I opened the carrier seal, I found that the seal was installed backwards on the shaft. So then I checked the starboard seal, and that was also on backwards. Now I'm wondering if this is Searay issue since these spare seals were...

Can anyone recommend a good marine mech. in the Mystic,Groton,Newlondon area. I need the prop. shafts pulled to replace shaft seals. Thanks
