Hello guys!
I did replace shaft seal for new one,similar like PSS system,and have some worries about seawater cooling for shaft seal.
It is a sailboat,it has small Yanmar engine in it,and i did found for me perfect spot for connecting hose to shaft seal,and did put also small valve on this pipe,so i can close it when replacing impeller or other works.
Connection is on pipe which goes from seawater pump to heat exchanger. But engine lies just bit under waterline,or in same line,and it has syphon breaker of course.
Should i change this water feed,because water is coming from shaft seal when i open it,i did put also small valve on carbon stator on shaft seal,so i dont flood the engine?
Thanks a lot for your help!
