Bearing type Shaft Log Seal

[GN107]

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.

Vic, what do you mean?

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.

Interesting. I know drive shafts, at least quality shafts, are balanced. Of course they're a little larger in diameter. More centrifugal force. But we balance shafts as small as 1/2", so it may be beneficial to balance these imo
