[Sentoa] PSS Shaft Seal

[Steve Weiser]

I'm wondering how old one of these things can get before we should  
start considering overhaul or replacement of them,  like replacing  
the bellows or whatever else?  Mine is 4 years old.  The  
manufacturer's warranty is three years.  I couldn't find anything on  
their website (see below) that helps with this question.  It's as if  
you can run it for 25 years until your boat starts flooding!

Since a failure of this unit would be catastrophic,  it's worth  
thinking about.  You know it will happen at the worst possible time.

Any thoughts?
