Bearing type Shaft Log Seal
Just installed another D21 Enterprises Ball Bearing shaft log seal in this Hondo Runner Bottom. Turned out great!

Looks good. Is balance a factor?

I've got one on my boat. They're a nice piece.

Do you have the shaft balanced or is it not an issue?

It's just that piece that's connected to that black rubber hose. Has a seal and a bearing that the prop shaft slides through.

I just realized this was the seal, not the shaft. But out of curiosity, do they balance the shafts? Not a lot of centrifugal force but mass is mass. And balanced mass is better than unbalanced mass

I haven't had to buy a new prop shaft yet luckily so I'm not exactly sure what the process is for making those.

I could be wrong, but I don't think they are Vic.
Here's Rex's prop shaft page with description. http://rexmar.com/page133.html
