Tides Marine 1.5" seal carrier with seals

[JohnGordon]

I have a pair of seal carriers and seals that I purchased last year thinking I was going to be able to install them. Well, I didn't have enough room on the prop shafts to install them so here they are for sale. I looked and see that I paid $140.00 for them on eBay. Tides has them for $138. I am asking $120 plus shipping. Please let me know if you have any questions. 231-313-1133 voice or text

Any chance you have a pic of your dripless set-up.I think i have tides but not 100% sure.Would be nice to install a spare set during winter layup seeing i am having the cutlass bearings replaced this winter.

I don't have any pictures, but I can take some. I will try to get to it tomorrow.

FWIW, I got my new seals from Motion Industries. They are only around $14, where if you buy them from Tides they are around $40. They are a common industrial oil lip seal. The seals that are in these carriers are the ones that were in them when I bought them.

Glen, Does this help?


I actually have the SureSeal with the 5 screws in the face but its round, not hex shaped.
Apparently this was and odd ball that was manufactured only for a short time.

Not really Mike ,i have pictures of mine somewhere but i wouldnt know one from the other just looking at the seal and carrier.Here are mine.Ok now i see they are sure seals,the one in the upper left of your post.I have been to busy to start any kind of research for winter work.I am actually going to farm out some things to the marina this year because i dont have any time,its been 6 weeks since i have been to the boat and i miss it.I would go on sunday but i am usually wipped by then after the 6 10 hr days i have been working.

Here are a few pictures I took. Sorry about the quality, but it was a little difficult since it is so tight under the transmissions and engines. I added the crossover cooling. You can see why I didn't install the spare seal carriers due to the lack of room on the shafts.

Let me know if you have any questions.

John,it looks like they will work,those would be the strong seals correct me if i am wrong.I just posted pics of mine and they look the same.

 

[JohnGordon]

Yes, they are the Strong Seals just like yours.

Sounds good John,i guess i should get the $14 seals also and replace the ones in the boat while i am putting the spares on the shafts,do you have the part # for them.Also shoot me a pm with your email.Do you accept paypal payments ,and let me know on shipping also,shouldnt be much we arent that far away.I used to live in TC from 94 until 98 and from 79-81.I have sisters in lake city and reed city.

 

[JohnGordon]

Here are the numbers. Like I mentioned I got them at Motion Industries, but any place that sells Parker should be able to get them. I will send you a PM about other details.
