Propeller shaft seals

Large View

There are two types of Vetus propeller shaft seal:

- Type ZWBH with triple lip seal: integrated mono block design, supplied with clamps and hose pillar. This should be lubricated once a year. Available for 25mm, 30mm and 35mm shafts.
- Type ZWB with dual lip seal and a front seal chamber packed with silicon grease. Available for 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm and 60mm shafts.

The assembly for both types includes a hose tail for connection to a water supply for lubrication, which may either be:
(i) by means of a water scoop kit (see below); or
(ii) by tapping a small amount of water from the engine's raw water cooling system
